When Hermes Xhika put up a listing to give away a used sofa, little did he know that he would embark on an act of kindness that no money can buy.
"Many people texted me, and this lady was one of them," said the 31-year-old Albanian who is a Singapore permanent resident. "I couldn't believe we were in Singapore at that moment. That's when we realised she was telling the truth and was really in need of help." "It was good timing as well. Her birthday was just a few days ago," said Xhika. "She was surprised and shocked, but you could see her smile."
