On November 25, a woman and her grandson left Gatundu Level Five Hospital after a successful therapy session. They boarded a GNT Sacco matatu heading to Thika road.

Tragedy struck when the little boy started convulsing while in the vehicle. Passengers pleaded with the driver and his tout to rush the little one to Neema Hospital.

Surprisingly, the matatu crew obliged and quickly zoomed off to the healthcare facility. The tout even decided to be kinder and carried the little boy to an examination room inside the hospital and stayed for a while as they waited for a doctor to arrive.

Doctors at Neema thanked the crew for acting quickly as their actions ensured the little boy lived to see another day.

Netizens praised the two kind strangers who chose life over money and helped save the innocent child. Some even asked for the tout's number so they could send a token of appreciation.

According to Hon Mario Nderi, a Facebook user, the driver and his tout's quick action saved the life of the little boy.
