Acts of kindness happen in unexpected ways. It happened that way to Sunny Lee, the General Manager of Operations at Discover Energy, who had a leaking roof. Here is her story.



Hello...

I just want to share this wonderful thing that happened to me in the hope that it inspires you the same way. The story starts with a leaking roof. I have been wanting to fix it for a while, but I had not got around to it. 

But, like so many people, I have been working from home lately due to the COVID-19

outbreak. So today, I called a roof tradesman to do the repair. I had never hired him before.

He was prompt on time, and in under 30 minutes, my roof was fixed!

 

I asked how much I owed him, and the tradesman said. “Don’t worry about the money. It was only 5-minute, job no need to pay. You know we all go through difficult times now with COVID-19, we are happy to help our neighbor.’  

I was stunned by his generosity. I tried to pay him and thank him, but he refused.

This one act of kindness really resonated with me. I thought this act of kindness should not stop here.

So, I would like to share this act of kindness with our Discover Energy community members.

The reason is to start something small that we can have control of when everything-else seems totally out of control these days. 

You may think this is publicity from Discover Energy. It isn't.


It’s about passing on the kindness I was given.

I hope, there will be people who are touched by this story.

I will donate money what would have been a payment to my hero, Basil, to one of our Discover Energy customers. Those customers who are currently unable to make their energy payment. 

We are calling to help others in need who are struggling with electricity bills 

If you're having difficulty paying your energy bill, you could be eligible for help through the Energy Accounts Payment Assistance (EAPA) Scheme.

Speak with your electricity or gas supplier to find out what assistance might be available to you. If you're not able to arrange a payment plan with your supplier, you can then contact an EAPA provider for an assessment. EAPA providers include St Vincent de Paul Society

So this fundraising appeal on behalf of St Vincent de Paul Society NSW. 

Starting from donations by Discover Energy staff we hope you can join us in helping these valuable charities that are helping people who are struggling to pay basic utilities like electricity. Or you can simply share some kindness and pay it forward.
