A man from Hawke's Bay has been surprising strangers with free fuel vouchers at petrol stations in Hastings. The individual, who has chosen to remain anonymous, has been conducting this act of kindness for approximately a week.
In a statement, the man explained his straightforward approach: "I'm not a people person, so I just get in and get out, I say, 'here you go, see you later'. There is no hanging around." He does not wait to witness the recipients' reactions to his generosity.
The spontaneous gifts have provided unexpected relief to several local motorists. The man's actions highlight a simple, direct form of community support, undertaken without seeking any recognition or thanks.
