I am in my 60s with serious health conditions. Despite being computer literate, I found it impossible to find a site offering COVID-19 vaccinations. None were keeping “waiting lists” and all said “there is no vaccination site within 50 miles of your location.”
I tweeted my frustration. To my surprise, a woman I’d never met responded asking me to DM her. She had an appointment that day and said she would ask when she arrived if they were keeping a wait list for leftover vaccines. At the time they weren’t, but she suggested it and gave them my name and phone number. I was called after 4 p.m. that day and asked to come in for my first shot.
This wonderful woman went out of her way to help someone she didn’t know. The kindness of strangers still exists despite so much of the anger and animosity that has developed in recent years.
