This mum received a heartfelt gesture from a fellow shopper after a stressful trip to Sainsbury's.

One mum reached out to another after she noticed she'd had a stressful trip to the supermarket in a remarkably kind gesture.

Zoe Langer from Bury, Greater Manchester, told of how she was given a £10 voucher alongside a note which read "You're doing a wonderful job. Wine aisle is 23! From one mum to another."

The kind gesture came totally out of the blue and came after Zoe said she'd experienced a nightmare trip to the shops as with her "monkey of a little girl".

"If you are a member of this group I want to tell you that people like you make the world a better place and your kindness means so much to me xxxxx."
