The last thing an Australian woman needed after spending days in the hospital with her sick, infant son was a parking ticket.

Fortunately, a stranger felt the same way.

When the mother returned to her car—after days of sitting up with her nine-week-old son in the hospital—she found a note on the hood.

"I saw your car had a parking ticket on it," the note read. "I'm sure whatever you're going through at the hospital is tough enough so I have paid for you."

The note even included the receipt number for the payment.

The stranger left only her first name, Laura.

The simple act of kindness brightened her day, but she had no way to track down the stranger and thank her.

So the mother posted a photo to the Canberra Mums Facebook page, a virtual meeting place for new mothers, hoping Laura would see it.

There's a pretty good chance she has by now — the post has been shared almost 15,000 times in the last four days.
