After a couple of messages with the man, he was able to land on a design he liked. However, as they were about the proceed with the deal, the uncle asked her if he was able to pay it with cash.
“I rejected his request in wanting to pay by cash because we’ve encountered multiple scam cases”, she said.
Despite her rejection, the uncle was adamant and asked if she was able to make an exception. Dawn then mentioned that she is unable to accommodate to his request and urged him to try other stores that provides cash on delivery.

She then received another call from the uncle, asking her if she could provide her stall details to him, so he could head over to her stall to pick up the flowers. After a brief discussion with her husband, Dawn decided to deliver the flowers herself, so the uncle didn’t have to travel to her stall.
“When I arrived at his place, a woman stood outside of the house welcoming us with a big smile on her face, but I didn’t see the uncle”, she mentioned.
As she walked into the house, she realised that the uncle has been going through health issues, causing him to not be able to walk normally. The uncle then slowly got up and expressed his gratitude towards her for accommodating to his request.
“I haven’t been feeling well and this will be my last time, gifting flowers to my wife”, said the uncle.

“I’m so happy my husband was able to send me over and I managed to complete the order for the uncle. Please always appreciate those who are close to you, I think this is truly something I’ll never forget.”
