When a Kiwi mum with terminal cancer gave a man a few dollars at the supermarket, she wasn’t expecting tens of thousands in return. A small act of kindness by a New Zealand woman with terminal cancer has led to tens of thousands of dollars in donations to fund her bucket list. Mother of two Adele, 37, was approached by Australian content creator Samuel Weidenhofer at a Pak’nSave supermarket and asked if she had any change to help him buy a can of baby food.

Adele and her husband agreed, leading to a candid exchange with Weidenhofer in which she revealed she only had eight months to live. Weidenhofer, 21, has amassed almost seven million followers on TikTok for his charitable content, which often sees him surprising compassionate strangers with cash after they agree to help him in a variety of situations..
