If you own a car, you’ll know how expensive it is to replace the tires on your car. It can cost hundreds and hundreds of dollars.
So for those of us who aren’t made of money, sometimes the tires on our cars aren’t always in the best of shape.
But driving around on balding or damaged tires can be extremely dangerous. Unfortunately, switching them out isn’t always an option for us. When you have food, rent, and electricity to pay for sometimes buying new tires can fall by the wayside.
That’s what happened to Australian woman Tegan Langley.
She had been driving around on shoddy tires until a stranger decided that the money in his pocket was less important than her safety and wellbeing.
This man actually paid for a new set of tires for her.
Not one tire, not two tires, but $535 worth of tires. He was a complete and total stranger to her but still went out of his way to make sure she was going to be OK. It’s a truly remarkable and selfless story that she shared in a Facebook post that ended up going viral.
Here’s what she wrote in her post:
“A beautiful miracle happened to me today. While sitting in Pimpama McDonald’s carpark waiting for an appointment a gentleman who I later found out was named Tony approached my car window. He asked if I knew about the state of my tires. I explained that I knew I needed new ones but at the moment simply couldn’t afford it. He asked me if I would follow him to Bridgestone Pimpama across the road to see what they could do for me.
This complete stranger, Tony explained he couldn’t live with himself if he walked away from the situation knowing they were about to blow at anytime.”
“Tony didn’t expect anything in return but asked me that one day when I’m in the position where I’m able to help someone I pay it forward.
$535 dollars, a lot of tears on my behalf, a few hugs, three brand new tires, a wheel alignment later and the offer to fuel up my car he left. No last name, no contact number, Just Tony the gentle giant with his two beautiful sons teaching them a life lesson.
Tony if this ever reaches you, thank you! Thank you for your utterly selfless act, your kind words, for restoring my faith in humanity. From the bottom of my heart thank you!”
We have a funny feeling that the story might have reached him by now. You see Tegan’s original Facebook post below.
