A coffee left on a stranger's car on a Monday morning

It was a cold Monday morning in Melbourne. Sarah had just grabbed her coffee when she noticed a woman sitting in her car in the car park, clearly distressed.

She bought a second coffee, wrote a small note — "Mondays are hard. You've got this." — and left it on the windscreen.

She didn't wait to see the reaction. She didn't need to. But three weeks later, she received a message through the give.au community page. It was from the woman. The note, she said, had come on the worst day of her year. She'd kept it in her wallet ever since.

This is what give.au is about. Not grand gestures. Just the right thing, at the right moment, for no reason other than love.
