THIS IS CARA Grace Duggan from Belfast.
Duggan emailed a seller on Gumtree earlier this week about buying a used Nutribullet for her mother, who is currently battling cancer and needs it for her supplements.
The seller was based in London, she she texted him to ask if he would be able to post it to Ireland, explaining why she needed it:
The man responded by saying he was more than happy to post the juicer to Ireland – but that Duggan didn’t need to pay a penny for it.
Then, the kind stranger took it one step further by ordering a brand new Nutribullet to be delivered to Duggan’s local Argos store. “You just need to collect it,” he said.
Duggan told Buzzfeed that she was initially suspicious of the gesture, but sure enough, there it was.
The cynic in me didn’t really believe the Nutribullet would be there until the woman actually handed it across the counter.
Duggan shared her story on Facebook, where it’s amassed thousands of shares.
“It’s just incredible, his gesture was huge, but it’s had an even greater impact than he could have imagined now it’s gone viral,” she told Buzzfeed.
See? People can be really, really nice.

What an absolute gent!!
A true prince! Im in floods of tears!
Silent heroes, this is the other face of humanity which we don’t hear so much, but it’s out there
A lovely gesture. Best wishes to the kind man and to Graces mum. its so nice to see that there really are some lovely people on this planet
Not ashamed to say I had a tear in my eye reading this. I have a dear friend battling cancer at the moment so it really hit home how that girl must feel about her mum. Great to see that there are some wonderful people out there.
The world would be a worse place without the kindness of strangers. Fair play.
It’s sad that in this an age there’d still be that suspicion in the back of your mind that surely this a joke? How can someone be this kind? Good to know theirs people out there that will go out of there way just to help a stranger in need. Fair play
What a beautiful gesture . Hope her mum gets better .
good to see humanity in action
That is amazing!
Thats Beautiful.
Restores your faith in humamity good deeds like this. god be good to all concerned
Lovely story, there is always so much more enjoyment in giving than receiving
Great lad. Do a better job of blanking out the girls address though. I can easily work out what the address is based on knowledge of belfast!
Hot chick.
(cough)
I saw this story elsewhere earlier and, heartwarming as it is, I hope Cara doesn’t think I’m digressing by complimenting her on her stunning looks.
Get yourself a lozenge Jack old man
This is brilliant, fair play to that guy. No act of kindness no matter how big or small is ever wasted..
I love how HE thanked her for giving him the opportunity to do a good deed. He has a great way of approaching life…fair play!
That’s awesome.
What an incredibly nice act of kindness. Well done that man.
OMG sooo inspirational. Like and share dis if it made u cry xx
Ok, I’m going to address the elephant in the room and say Holy Jebus she’s hot. Downvote all ya want, you’re all thinking it.
That’s so nice :) well done to him
that’s lovely,very kind person and shows what humanity really is.god bless both you’re families.
Really nice gesture fair play. I wonder did he know she was lasher though?! Posting her picture at the top of the article is intended to bring that thought to mind no doubt!
Seems slightly manipulative. Strangers don’t need or want to know the medical condition of your family.
Amazing and very inspiring.That man is an absolute gent absolutely incredible.
What a wonderful gesture.. Always good to see a story where somebody actually does something good. May he be rewarded many times over. All the very best to Cara’s mum as well..
She’s relly hot, im sure that had nothing to do with it though!!
You can’t beat the British for kindness and generosity of spirit.
Trolololololololol….
He doesn’t read like a native Brit, read his messages again. Lots of grammar mistakes
He shared her story or story of his greatness…I don’t think sharing this story wouldn’t help Cara’s mother beat advanced cancer.But will and is helping him to be seen as hero,and by this be in the centre of the attention.I think we all,more or less making gestures of kindness,smaller or bigger,and I think there is no need to post it on FB to let everybody know how great we are.but,that’s just my opinion.
Read it again.
She shared the story. not him…
Nice to have that good feeling story on the morning well done sir well done
Wonderful supportive comments on the kindness of an individual. I can’t understand how some people red thumb these positive comments.
I’d take a bullet for that man
have your say
