We never know what a person is going through and being astute and lending a helping hand is always recommended. Things may not seem as simple as they look and we need to be more observant and kind while dealing with strangers. A woman named Rebecca Boeing revealed in a Facebook post how a Burger King employee, Tina Hardy, saved her life with quick kindness and help. The woman mentioned that she was driving and went to the outlet’s drive-thru to place an order. When she stumbled through her order, Hardy was observant and astute enough to draw the much-needed conclusion that the woman needed help and rushed to offer the same.

“I was driving when my blood sugar dropped to a dangerous level. Luckily a Burger King restaurant was at the upcoming exit,” Boeing wrote. She added that because of her condition, she “stumbled” throughout her order. Boeing thought it would be good for the employee taking the order to know that she was diabetic “and in need of food.” “Low blood sugar makes it difficult to think or act,” she explained. As best as she could, she pulled up to the window to grab her order. To her astonishment, Hardy was running towards her car as fast as she could. The sense of urgency and sudden gesture left Boeing baffled. "I honestly, at first, didn't know who she was or what she was doing. It took me a minute to figure it out,” she noted, per ABC 7.

“She squeezed between the front of my car and the building just to bring me a small serving of ice cream,” the woman recalled. Hardy had been taking note of Boeing’s stumbling and the mention that she was diabetic was enough for her to act. The employee mentioned that her husband, too, was diabetic, so she could tell that the woman needed help. “After paying, I pulled up to Tina’s window where she gave me my food. She instructed me to park across the driveway so that she could keep an eye on me until I felt better,” Boeing added. She was grateful to receive the urgent help she did and noted that without the food she could have gone into a “diabetic coma.”

“I actually could have lost consciousness if it had gotten worse. I could've even died from it,” she remarked. The woman waited for Hardy’s break to thank and speak with her and also shared her goodwill story with her supervisor. She learned that the employee had been working at the outlet for only 6 months or so and wasn’t even sure if she’d lose her job for leaving her position abruptly. The woman even got a picture of Hardy so she could share it and spread the news of her kindness.

“I have set up a fundraiser for Tina Hardy after it came to my attention that this hero doesn’t have a car,” she noted. "Amarillo, Texas is pretty spread out and I don't know how she can function without a vehicle,” she added. The woman also said that Hardy strongly deserved to be appreciated and recognized. "Please help me say thank you in a way that will change her life,” she added towards the end of her post.
