It all started with one kind gesture from a woman on a Facebook community, the mom’s jumped on board & the #PayItForward whirlwind started!

“Hi ladies I feel like blessing someone. Looking for a lady who needs a cut and blow-wave, a cut and blow-wave for her daughter, a cut for her son and a cut for her husband – all for free.  Anyone who suits this description? Will go to the first one to comment.” – Wednesday 1 June 2016 – 7:16pm Facebook South Peninsula Mom’s Group.

In just 24 hours, over 200 acts of kindness were posted, and the admin & members of the group were completely blown away!

Gestures of kindness ranged from baby-sitting, to maternity services, personal training, plumbing, beauty products, portraits, hand-made crafts, holidays, party planning, counselling, tutoring… the list goes on! the best part is, these were on offer to anyone that needed that particular service, all you had to do was comment & hope they picked you for their offer! Even Hamleys South Africa jumped on board, giving away tickets for a train ride!

“We were all in awe of the level of generosity of random people in our Valley, all of this within 24 hours!” said one of the members on her blog.
