A mother of six has shared her heartwarming experience of how her Indian neighbour went above and beyond to help after she suffered a painful accident at home.
“I’m a housewife living in a residential area. I have a 3-month-old baby, a 5-year-old child, and four school-going kids. My husband leaves for work, and so do most of the neighbours.

“During the day, it’s usually just me and my Indian neighbours’ elderly parents at home,” she shared on her Threads.
While preparing food, she accidentally spilled hot water on her hands and feet.
The searing pain caused her to scream, catching the attention of her next-door neighbour, an elderly Indian “auntie,” who immediately rushed in.
“After I explained what happened, she quickly took my 3-month-old baby and handed the baby to her husband to look after. She then accompanied me, along with my 5-year-old, to the nearby health clinic.
“What touched me deeply was that she even paid for my medical treatment.
“She also bought drinks for my child since we had to wait a while at the clinic. It felt like being cared for by my own family, even though we’re not related by blood,” she wrote.
When they returned home past 1pm, Elwani began worrying about her older children returning from school with no lunch ready.
To her surprise, her neighbour had already stepped in once again—cooking lunch in her kitchen with ingredients from the fridge after asking permission.
“I couldn’t hold back my tears. How lucky I am to have such neighbours, helping sincerely without any concern for race or religion.
“Yesterday, I truly learned that having good neighbours is one of life’s greatest blessings.
“They’re not just neighbours—they’re family without blood ties. May Allah reward them abundantly,” she shared.
Netizens flooded the post with heartwarming comments, praising the neighbour’s kindness and compassion.
“Every homeowner wishes to have this kind of neighbour… and if you can’t have one, then start becoming that kind of neighbour yourself. Happy Merdeka Day,” one user called desperate_cupid commented.
“Race doesn’t define who a person is… Kindness and compassion are qualities that exist within someone regardless of their race,” tensazangetsu21 wrote.
“Why are we the ones crying now? Alhamdulillah, Allah is so good to us—He sends people, regardless of religion, to help us,” zuwai87 shared.
