A random stranger's kind gesture has brought people to tears after he stepped in to help a struggling mum - paying for her shopping as she tried to calm her crying baby.
The man, known only as Steve, stepped up to pay for the groceries at Asda when a mum with a crying four-month-old baby couldn't find her bank card at the till.
The mum posted her thanks to Facebook and people have been praising the man for his kindness, reports The Echo .
The mum posted on Facebook: "Thank you so much to the lovely Steve who paid for my whole grocery shop in Birkenhead Asda yesterday afternoon.
"I had my four month old teething baby strapped to me (who had only just settled after crying most of the day) and I was so flustered and stressed as I couldn't find my bank card.
"Managed to get the card and wrapping paper for my little girls birthday today too thanks to him.
"His kindness had me in tears. Also a big thank you to the lovely Claire on the till who was so kind and patient with me."
Dozens of people commented to praise Steve for helping.
One woman said: "I don’t know you Steve but thanks for helping this lady out. True gentleman. We appreciate people like yourself in this world. Very kind of you."
Another said: "What a beautiful thing for the man to do."
A third added: "So nice of him. So there is still a few lovely people left in this world."
