In another act of kindness for the NHS yesterday, a stranger left a nurse in shock when he gave her £50 to pay for her shopping.
Isobelle Smithson, 24, was already feeling guilty at using her NHS card to jump the queue in an Aldi supermarket.
But the benefactor had heard her chatting about her job to others waiting in line.
He then stepped forward and, ignoring Isobelle’s protests, placed two £20 notes and a £10 in her trolley.
He told mum-of-one Isobelle: “It’s from me and my wife, thank you for what you do.”
She said: “It was such an amazing gesture. People are really behind the NHS and that’s making a massive difference.”
Isobelle works on a maternity ward at Pinderfields General Hospital, Wakefield, West Yorks.
She wrote online she felt “like a right idiot” using her card but other shoppers were happy to step aside. The donor approached her as she went to pay £56.85 for her shopping in Pontefract.”
She has since tracked down the mystery man — primary school headteacher Luke Welsh, 30.
The married dad of one said: “It was wonderful to know how much it meant to her. It was literallly a token amount to simply say you are amazing, thank you.”
Luke is looking after key workers’ children at his school in Wakefield. He said: “I’m doing my bit but I’m not doing anything near what Isobelle is doing. They’re all incredible.”
