Any Cool "Good Samaritan" Stories?

1 Answer

Answer :

answer:I’ll post one of mine. It was an enlightening experience. I’m no saint though: I was driving down the highway and saw an old man sitting by his truck full of all his belongings. I actually drove by and then convinced myself to turn around 3 miles later. Turns out he was on his way from Cali to West Virginia to go live with his brother because he was on disability and could not take care of himself very well. When I pulled up he was in tears, a 75 year old man just crying by his lonesome. His truck was broken down and he had $103 to his name, no phone, and everything he owned in the back of his old truck. I called a wrecker and it just so happens they took it to a shop where i knew the owner (It was in a town I had lived in years ago). I spent the day with the man, then got him a hotel room. The next day, the owner of the shop called me and said they finished his truck, it just needed a new alternator and few other small repairs. I asked him how much, and he simply said, “No charge”. I thought that was pretty sweet how the human race can work as a community to help someone out.
