Uber drivers don’t just deliver people. They deliver happiness, too.
During her morning ride to work, a passenger named Diane got into a conversation with her Uber driver, Lamiyah Jabbar. The Tim Hortons employee revealed that she does not have that much money as she uses most of her earnings to take care of her grandchildren.
Although it is only August, Diane told Lamiyah how she was looking forward to Christmas as she hoped to receive a new robe, house shoes, and a dress for church under her tree.
It was then that the driver decided to play Santa.
Lamiyah chose not to pick up any other passengers, and instead went straight to Old Navy to get Diane some early presents! She then returned to the drive-through and captured the surprise gift-giving on camera.
“This was on my mind from the moment she got out my car, so I had to contribute,” Lamiyah wrote in the Instagram video caption. “Can you imagine waiting till Christmas just to get a robe, house shoes and a outfit for church? We tend to take things for granted, but why not help someone else if you can?”
