Jane Sayner had been living in a lovely Melbourne house for almost 20 years. She was taken aback when she learned that the landlord intended to leave it to her. Sayner was home searching 23 years ago, perusing classified ads in a local newspaper. She fell in love with a two-bedroom flat in St. Albans, northwest of Melbourne, right away. It was a charming and pleasant house with a garden that she believed would be ideal for her…

She moved in and had always paid her landlord, John Perrett, $200 each week. Sayner said that when she initially moved into the home, the yard was barren, so she changed it into a lovely and colorful garden by growing a variety of plants and flowers. Sayner described her landlady as “extremely nice and generous.” He was a pharmacist who was also a philanthropist.

He enjoyed assisting others and giving back to the community. Over the course of his 83-year life, Perrett amassed a fortune that he generously distributed to those in need. Perrett was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease and transferred into a nursing home a few years ago. He contacted Sayner one day and broke the most heartbreaking news to her: he was leaving the house to her.

“I received a call from him one day and he said, ‘I want you to go to my solicitor, he’s here right now, and can you give him your complete name because I’m leaving you the flat,'” Sayner said. Sayner was stunned by what Perrett had just stated. She even questioned herself, believing she had misheard. Fortunately for her, it was genuine. Perett could tell Sayner adored the property since she had never considered leaving it after more than 20 years. As a result, he decided to leave it to her as a present.

Sayner’s life was eternally altered as a result of this choice. She had to work quite hard to survive prior to purchasing the home. She was eventually able to retire since she had saved so much money by not paying rent. The 74-year-old lady used to work at an Epping market, but now that she has her own house, she can relax and enjoy life to the fullest.
Perrett’s property was apparently not his sole possession. He grew up as an only kid and never married.

He sold the drugstore and invested the money after working as a pharmacist for many years. Perrett made a $19.6 million donation to the Royal Melbourne Hospital’s nephrology department, where he had a kidney transplant thirty years ago. “Words can nearly never explain how selfless and immensely giving Perrett is,” said Royal Melbourne Hospital Professor Nigel Toussiant.

“As a hospital department at the Royal Melbourne Hospital, we are incredibly appreciative for such a donation.” It’s just incredible.” Toussiant said that the kidney transplant lasted more than 30 years, until Perrett died. “That was a life-saving present, I suppose, to take him off dialysis, and he was clearly appreciative for the care that he got, for all the physicians and nurses and medical personnel at the Royal Melbourne Hospital to look after him,” Toussiant said.

The hospital intends to put Perrett’s generous contribution to good use by supporting the hospital and its patients for the next few decades. They are also considering memorializing Perrett with plaques. Sayner, on the other hand, will be eternally grateful to the landlord for his generosity and goodwill. She said that she remembers to thank Perrett on a daily basis. “I still appreciate him every day of my life.” ‘Thank you, John,’ I respond quietly.” Watch this video to learn more about this touching story:
