Sometimes, help comes from the most unexpected people.
A Relative Took Advantage Of A Widow
Agnes Maples is a 90-year-old widow who lives in her own lot alone, so one of her relatives asked if he could store some belongings on her property. Agnes agreed because she thought she had space more than she actually needed.
It Got Out Of Hand
But the family member kept on filling up her yard with trash until it caused her neighbors to send a complaint to the government.
The City Ordered Agnes To Pay Up
The local government got involved and told Agnes that if she didn’t get rid of the garbage, she would have to pay a fine of $2,500 every day.
Operation Blessing To The Rescue
Knowing that she didn’t have the strength to move the trash, Agnes asked for help from an organization called Operation Blessing. And with some help from Regent University volunteers, they did a great job in cleaning out Agnes’ yard.
They Also Did An Extra Work For Her Home
The good Samaritans also fixed Agnes’ home’s holed roof, renovated the whole trailer, and even made a new pathway to her yard with beautiful new flower beds.
They Even Gave Her A Parting Gift
When the volunteers asked her for a final request, she told them her need for an air-conditioner, so they surprised her with one as a parting gift.
Her Priceless Smile Of Gratitude
Agnes didn’t know how to thank every kind heart who helped her. “They’re wonderful and I love them all,” she said.
Faith In Humanity, Restored
There truly are kind-hearted people who are willing to help others in need.
