When you are a parent, preparing for a family vacation requires extensive planning.
Before, you’d probably buy a ticket, make an itinerary, and pack your bags.
Now, buying your tickets would probably be the easiest part of your trip.
You need to make sure you’re bringing everything your kids need, and you need to double-check everything. Most of us would probably have lists of what to bring.
However, there is still a chance that we end up forgetting something.
Kirsten Marten was excited about their much-awaited family vacation in Mexico. They were all so excited while waiting to arrive at their destination when she realized something.
Marten forgot something important.
She realized she did not bring their youngest child’s critical medication. They left it back home in Victoria, British Columbia!
It was too late to come back home, so instead, Marten posted a “Hail Mary” on a local mom’s group at 5 am using her Facebook account.
She was desperate, and there was nothing wrong with trying.
Marten asked if someone was traveling to Mexico and if they could do her a favor and get the prescription and bring it with them.
One of the Facebook group members, Marina Miller, saw the post.
She also lives in the same area as Marten, but they have never crossed paths until that date. In just a few minutes, Marten was in awe as she saw that someone, who was already awake at 5 am, was able to secure the important prescription and had already paid for it.
If you think Miller was already thoughtful by doing this, Miller found out that the kind-hearted lady even scheduled the medicine, Flouxac, to be delivered to their hotel in Mexico.
Marten would just need to claim it in the hotel, and that’s it.
Miller was one of a kind. Can you imagine what Marten felt when she realized someone took care of everything for her?
“If you can be helpful, be helpful and if you can’t, stand back for someone who can,” Miller shared her thoughts in her interview with Black Press Media.
Miller was awake at that moment, and it was no coincidence that she read the post. Life is all about experiences, and in this case, she knew how she could help, and she did.
Marten was, of course, overwhelmed with Miller’s help.
According to Marten, she never met Miller, let alone spoken to her, but the kind lady reached out and solved her problems immediately.
“Her act of kindness left this exhausted and overwhelmed mom welling and filled with love up & set our trip off on the right foot. We are eternally grateful to her & I have to say-I’m fangirling a bit over her now & can’t wait to meet her in person,” Marten ended her post.
If we could help, shouldn’t we do it?
Miller knew how to solve Marten’s problem, and she did. She doesn’t consider herself a hero or someone special.
Not only did Miller secure a child’s medication, but she also gained a new friend.
