All too often we hear how cruel and ignorant people can be towards those who are simply different.

Twelve-year-old Axel has not only been handed a difficult condition to live with but he and his family regularly have to contend with horrible insults. So it is so uplifting to hear that a kind supermarket worker went out of her way to make Axel’s day a little brighter.

Heloise’s little act of kindness was just a small extra effort for her that made a big difference to this family. Perhaps we should all think about the little acts of kindness that make the world a slightly brighter place.
