Facebook/Jaya DuttaJaya Dutta was at Toa Payoh MRT station last Sunday morning and came across an elderly woman whom she sees on the way to work every day.

Upon completing her pieces, she attempts to sell them to people making their way to or from the MRT station. Though it might have seemed like nothing more than a simple purchase, the artist was overwhelmed with emotion and eventually "broke into tears".While Jaya was keen to stress that she does not know the artist personally, she felt like she wanted to simply give a helping hand to someone who spends "long hours sitting and crocheting".
