Lisa McDonald and her sister had been caring for their mother in palliative care for sometime, when they thought of a perfect way to bring a smile to her face.
McDonald thought that since her mom loves Bambi, wears Bambi T-shirts, has Bambi statues, and thinks deer are the most beautiful animals, what better way to cheer her up than bringing a real-life Bambi into the care home?
She posted a series of pictures and a video on The Kindness Pandemic Facebook group of the astonished look on her mother’s face when a fawn walked into the room, which sent a tear-jerking tremor through the group.
“Brought me to tears. What a special and touching moment. Absolutely beautiful people to drive all that way for your mum to experience something so magical before she passes,” one commenter wrote.
“This is so beautiful. She would have absolutely loved this so much. You can see it in her eyes how much joy it brought to her. Bless them, and bless you and your beautiful Mum,” another commented.
After McDonald came up with the idea, she and her sister found a nearby couple, Chris and Simone, that owned a mobile petting zoo near their home in Melbourne.
They contacted them to see if they could come out with their deer fawn, which was coincidentally called Bambi.
“Mum deteriorated quickly today and Simone and Chris didn’t hesitate… they drove two and a half hours to bring Bambi to meet mum,” Lisa told the Daily Mail. “Out of pure love and kindness. I cannot thank them enough for what they have done for my mum and my family.”

Animals do know when a human is in need.
My heart is melting, water-works.
I can tell that the deer is well taken care of & if it didn’t want to be there, we’d all know it.
How tender…………..now, this kind woman can move on peacefully.
What a kind thing to do for this woman in need.
*sigh*
