A random meeting between two strangers resulted in a random act of kindness at Wig Boutique Sault Ste. Marie Friday. 

Angela Wilding says that wigs can get expensive, so it came as a shock to her when she was approached at the wig shop and handed a $100 gift certificate. 

“She said that she had won a $100 gift certificate at a stag-and-doe last year, and she would like me to have it - she’d like to pay it forward because she couldn’t use it,” said Wilding. “I was crying, the lady was crying. It was just an amazing, amazing, amazing story. She was so nice.”

The donor of the gift certificate, Angela Notte, wasn’t immediately available for comment. 

Wilding says she’s still taken aback by the random act. 

“There are very nice people in this world,” she said.
