Thank you angel, says Renan

RENAN Casey is searching for a mystery woman who gave him $550 and told him to have faith in God.
The 24-year-old was sitting next to his broken-down Holden Commodore with his girlfriend, Simone, and daughter Latisha, 4, at the side of Showground Rd, Castle Hill when the woman drove up in a black Jeep and handed
him the cash.
``She said she had a gut feeling she just really needed to help me and handed me $500,'' said Mr Casey, from Umina Beach on the Central Coast.
``She didn't want to be repaid or for me to take down her details. All she said was to have faith in God.''
The woman then gave him another $50 and told him to buy a cool drink for his daughter.
The Good Samaritan was described as having strawberry-blonde hair, about 165cm tall, aged in her late 30s, with a Canadian accent and a beautiful smile.
The incident happened on Australia Day about 2.30pm.
Even though he is a mechanic by trade and had tried every ``side-of-the-road'' trick, Mr Casey could not get the engine started.
He had no credit card to join the NRMA and a tow truck firm had quoted a $440 towing fee to the Central Coast.
The cash enabled the trio and vehicle to make it home, where the car miraculously started.
``It was a strange day,'' Mr Casey said.``I really appreciate the help she gave me. I've had a long think about what she said and I'm going to try and change my life and be more like her.''
He urged anyone who knows her to phone him on 0416 455 533.
