Poor Mom Struggles to Take Sick Baby to Doctor until Stranger Gifts Her a Car — Story of the Day

A poor single mother struggles to take her sick baby battling cancer to the hospital on foot after everyone is unkind to her. One day, a Good Samaritan comes her way with a kind gesture she never imagined.

Betty had seen better days. The ones with Raul… Those were the best days of her life. He was her best friend, husband, and everything she wanted in a man. Everything seemed just fine, and then, extraordinarily perfect when Betty fell pregnant.

This was something Raul had always wanted — a child to bear more than just his name. Like all fathers, he wanted his baby to come out safe and sound. He went with Betty to all her checkups and was more concerned about the child. It was their first baby after several futile attempts to conceive. Then one day, a piece of terrible news awaited him…

“What?? It can’t be. Nobody in my family has had this,” Raul was alarmed when the doctor told him about the multiple abnormalities detected during the ultrasound.

Later that evening, he mustered the courage and approached Betty to convince her to terminate her pregnancy. He did not have an option but to make the difficult choice because he was afraid to raise a sick child.

“Are you crazy? This is our baby and our first child. It’s a blessing, and we will be parents for the first time. How could you tell me this?” Betty cried, but nothing changed Raul’s mind.

Soon, it was Betty’s turn to make a choice. She and Raul filed for a divorce after she chose her baby over their marriage and him. Betty knew it would be difficult to cope without Raul. But she still wanted to keep the baby.

Months later, Betty gave birth to a beautiful girl baby who she named Gini and took her to her late mother’s house two weeks later. Although she was overjoyed, she faced a mighty blow when her baby’s health began to deteriorate shortly. The scans further revealed that baby Gini had cancer and had to start treatment very soon.

Betty was haunted and started taking her baby to the hospital located several miles away to initiate the treatment. She did not have any personal mode of transport and heavily relied on her neighbors and friends for rides to the hospital.

Though they were initially kind to her, they refused to help her when her requests for rides became frequent. “Huh, sorry, Bet, but I’m busy,” some of her friends said. “My car is out of fuel. Sorry!” her neighbor said.

Those were just excuses, and humanity had slowly started to fail the poor mother.

But Betty wouldn’t give up and was ready to do anything to save her child. So she...
