News to make your heart smile

A 21 year old single dad walked 11 miles to work everyday - until his co-workers found out. Trenton Lewis was gifted a 2006 Saturn from co-workers when they found out he had been walking 11 miles to work every day for 7 months. They collected almost $2000 and bought him a car. He's a single dad of a 14 month old daughter.

 

3 cheers for Trenton and his kind co-workers at a UPS facility in Little Rock, Arkansas.

What a wonderful group of co-workers!  How thrilled they must be to have been able to make a single Dad's difficult road a little smoother!

 

We all know that evil abides too, but the world is filled with people capable of great acts of caring and generosity.  Very inspiring and humbling.

What a wonderful thing those co-workers did.  It just proves there are still kind people willing to help someone in need.  It warms my heart and puts a smile on my face.  For a brief moment I can forget the horror that is around us everyday.  Thank you for posting this.  Heart
