Find Out What Strangers Did While This Mother Was In The ER With Her Baby

Stories like this one really keeps me hope for humanity! Mom-of-three Kaylee Goemans recently had to rush her 6-week-old son Dominic to the emergency room when she noticed that his bowels were fill with air and fluid along with crying fits that would last for several hours.

Like any mother would do, she drove to the hospital – fast.

According to the Today Show, Goemans said she parked at a meter on the street because she couldn’t afford the $15 parking fee on the hospital’s property. “I put about three bucks and change in for four hours’ time,” she says. Because the doctor had already sent over her son’s test results, Goemans thought she’d be in and out, but it turned into a nine-hour ordeal — with her stomach flip-flopping over the fate of her car.
What happened next well definitely give you the fuzzy feelings in your heart.

“When my meter was up, I panicked and knew I’d be ticketed — or worse, towed,” she said. It wasn’t a simple matter of extra change to pop in the meter — Goemans didn’t want to leave her son. So the mom with a very sick baby took to social media for help. She posted a status to a local Facebook group she belongs to called New Barrie Moms Everything Buy and Swap.

“Women just started pouring in, asking what car I drove and where I was parked to put change in for me,” Goemans said. While she was holding her baby in the ER, fellow mothers in her Facebook group decided to help her out.

“I live just around the corner from the hospital so if you need anything at all pls don’t hesitate to contact me anytime! If your meter is running out or you just need a coffee or some food!!! Hoping all goes well and your baby gets well very soon!!” Rachel Banks commented on the Facebook page.

“2 more hours added no need to worry about that. Give baby a hug from me,” wrote Stephanie Goguen.

“Kay, Do you or your husband need anything? A Coffee? A meal? A hug?” commented Jen Grenier.

Now that is the power of positive social media. I love this story! This just goes to show us that we parents need to stick together and support one another, even when the going gets rough.






Reminded me of the ladies on here. I know plenty of you would've stepped up!

Love this!! It really does restore my faith in people. On a side note, I hate that hospitals have paid parking. When dh's grandma passed at Stony Brook, we had to park in the parking garage We basically got a call she was nearing death, flew out of work and went to the hospital. She ended up passing hours later. When we went to leave, nobody had cash on them and the atm was broken. A family friend had to bring us up cash. As if her dying wasn't bad enough, being stuck in the parking garage stunk.
