To the people at the bridge who cared

Thank you to the people who cared enough to speak up and help me get on a bus to go home with my 2 kids!! It’s hard to travel with 2 small kids and it also makes it even harder when you cant afford a double stroller to travel with. The stroller I had was a loner for the day, it was big but it did the job and also it did not block the aisle but the bus driver did not care and I was told I would have to go and get a new stroller. Being on social assistance I can’t afford to go and get a new stroller I can’t even afford to buy gifts for my kids for Christmas sooo thank you to the lady who took my number because you have a stroller that you no longer need. It was really appreciated. Christmas time is hard for low income people and traveling is even harder with 2 small kids any parent of more than one kid knows this. Merry Christmas and I hope you have a good New Year. Much love. —Momma of 2 with a big double stroller
