Blake Hastings, who is working two jobs while pursuing her master’s degree at Middle Tennessee State University, was about to run out of gas when she pulled into a gas station in Spring Hill.

Hastings had only a few dollars for gas, but a stranger solved that issue by filling her tank, WTVF reported.

“This kind lady from the pump next to me told me to pull up behind her. At first I questioned her, I said, ‘Are you serious?’ and she was like ‘Yes of course, pull behind me,’” Hastings told the television station.

Hastings learned the stranger had bought $600 worth of Kroger gift cards, and the fuel points she accumulated allowed her to buy gasoline for six cents a gallon, WTVF reported. So, to her surprise, Hastings received a full tank of gasoline.

“I have no clue who she was. I don’t think she realized how much it touched me,” Hastings told the television station. “She was so eager to share her goodness.”
