Naantig ang aktres na si Maxene Magalona sa storya ng isang driver na nasakyan niya kamakailan.
Sa isang Instagram post noong Oktubre 27, ibinahagi ni Maxene ang encounter nila ng grab driver na si Von Eric.
Naniniwala raw ang aktres na hindi aksidente na magkakilala sila ng driver.
"I truly believe that nothing in this Universe happens by chance. What’s meant to be will always be—just like when I met kuya Von Eric, a kind @grab_ph driver who picked me up for work one day," panimula ng aktres. "I really like booking @grab_ph car rides especially when I have to go to taping or a movie shoot since I don’t have my own car and driver. Plus, I believe that whoever accepts my booking on the app is someone the Universe wants me to cross paths with for a purpose."

Sey ni Maxene, ikinuwento ng driver sa kaniya na namatay ang asawa nito noong nakaraang taon dahil sa Covid-19. Naging mahirap daw sa driver ang pagkawala ng asawa dahil kailangan nitong itaguyod mag-isa ang kaniyang mga anak.
"When kuya Von and I got to talking, he shared with me how he lost his wife to Covid just last year. He was honest and vulnerable enough to share with me his pain and the struggle of losing his life partner and suddenly becoming a single Dad to their growing kids," kuwento ng aktres.
"He told me that it was the most difficult time of his life and yet, his faith in God never wavered. He understood that this was part of his life purpose—to go through this pain so that he can be strong enough to continue living for him and his children," dagdag pa niya.
Simula raw noon, nag-decide ang driver na maglagay ng kopya ng dasal sa loob ng sasakyan na makakapag-remind sa mga pasahero nito ng unconditional love ng Panginoon.
Sey niya, "Ever since then, he decided to put this beautiful prayer in his car so that his passengers will be reminded of God’s unconditional love for all of us."
"I admire souls like kuya Von. The ones who don’t let life’s trials and challenges hold them back from living fully and wholeheartedly. The ones who go through so much pain and suffering and still choose to stand and smile to be able to show others that peace is possible after pain."
