Like many elderly Americans, Gloria Scott lives on a limited income.
Sometimes, that means making hard choices. If money’s tight, home repair and maintenance are often the first things to fall by the wayside.
When her overhead light fixture went out, however, she decided living in the dark wouldn’t do.
So, she called in electrician John Kinney to make the necessary repairs.
Deeply troubled by the extreme state of disrepair he found Scott’s house in, Kinney couldn’t get the woman’s desperate situation out of his head. “No lights, no running water.”
Rather than walk away, Kinney went back to Scott’s place and started working on some other much-needed repairs—free of charge. But he didn’t stop there.
Kinney set up a “Nice old lady needs help” Facebook page to solicit other local tradespeople to lend a hand as well. The enthusiastic response was pretty amazing. (thegoodnewsnetwork.com)
