There's nothing like a heart-warming story showcasing people's kindness to brighten up your Monday.
Eoin Mulligan who works in Supermacs in Athlone shared this lovely story on his Facebook page yesterday, which has since been shared more than 1,200 times and liked by over 7,000 people.
He told the story of a customer of his, Francis, who has aspergers syndrome on the autistic spectrum.
He explains that Francis comes into his workplace every day and they often talk about all things Everton- the team they both passionately support.
He wrote
Francis is a die hard Everton fan like myself. So i took it upon myself to give back to the person who has lightened up many a shift in work for me over the past 2 years.
Today I gave him the new Everton jersey with his favourite Everton player on the back
"Wayne Rooney"
To see the joy it brought him really made my day.I hope more people can be compassionate towards him in the future.
Small gestures like this can really change someone's life.

Everton Football Club's official Facebook page even shared Eoin's post, saying "A heart warming tale. A lovely gesture Eoin - and a great reaction from Francis. #EvertonFamily"
