A single mother who was struggling to pay for dinner for her two sons has been given a helping hand, after a McDonalds employee fixed up the bill.

Danica Rodwell was in the McDonald’s drive-thru in Chinderah near the Gold Coast when she realised she didn’t have the money to cover her order.

It was a schoolboy worker who came to her rescue - offering to pay for the meal, and insisting she order food as well.

“This beautiful young man instead of asking me to move out of the drive through as I was blocking others he paid for the lot plus got a meal for me”, she wrote in a public Facebook post.

“I'm now sitting here in tears in the carpark because he has restored my faith that there are good people left!

“Pay it forward I will.. what a gorgeous young man.”
