A woman from Milestone wants to say thank you to an anonymous Secret Santa that paid a large portion of her car repair bill.

Courtney Kolenich took her car to Midas in downtown Regina a couple of weeks ago to have her exhaust looked at. She got the quote for the repair and put a deposit down, with the intention of paying the remainder when the work was complete.

To her surprise, when she went to pick up her vehicle, the staff informed her that someone had paid the $750 that she was still owing.

“This time is hard for me for a couple reasons,” she said. “I’m going back off my maternity leave early for financial reasons … and then just having faith in humanity again, that that stuff actually happens.”

Kolenich says this generous act of kindness means a lot to her and her children this Christmas season.
