Cyclists Pay a Kindness Forward after Family Give them Shelter from a Storm
Con Malherbe and his friends were enjoying a day out cycling through rural KwaZulu-Natal in early October when a massive storm caught them off guard. A family invited them onto their homestead, offering kindness, food, drink, and shelter from the storm.
Wearing only their cycling gear, they were completely exposed to the raging thunderstorm, heavy rains, and strong winds. The family made a really tough situation far more bearable, and they asked for nothing in return.
Con and his friends were blown away by the gesture of kindness by the family and hoped to pay their kindness back. When they got back home, they started talking about what could possibly be done. They decided to give the family a Christmas they would never forget!
The guys roped in their cycling community and, before long, had collected clothing, non-perishable foods, and even seedlings for a food garden. They still have funds leftover, so the next step is to get a fridge, an essential and top of the family’s wishlist.
