Shocked by the generosity of a stranger Ms Young took to social media to thank and try track down the anonymous gifter.
In her Facebook post she stated,
“Thank you so very much, just goes to show us that there are still some good people in this world! Wish you would of left a number so we could thank you personally or at least buy you a beer. Cheers!”
Ms Young also asked people to share the post in the hope that the person would come across it and see just how appreciative she was of the gesture.
