A 24-year-old cancer patient in Foshan, China, requested two hours of companionship through a meal delivery service. The patient, known as ‘Little Li’, is battling a rare blood cancer and felt lonely during her treatment.
After her request, numerous delivery riders volunteered to visit and support her. Li’s brother is occupied with an internship while her father works overseas to pay medical expenses.
Li’s condition has stabilized and she was discharged from the hospital on April 20. She had undergone her fourth round of chemotherapy before making the companionship request.
The initial delivery rider who fulfilled her request shared it with a local rider club. This prompted others to visit her, bringing items such as milk, snacks, stuffed toys, and books.
Huang, a rider from Guangzhou, traveled three hours to comfort Li after hearing her story. Wang, a 60-year-old cancer survivor, sent flowers and shared her resilience with Li.
The story of Li’s request went viral on social media. It highlighted the kindness of the delivery riders who adjusted their schedules to visit Li and provide companionship.
