Update on my Paying it forward post

This past Monday I posted here about going to the donut shop and as I was pulling out my money to pay for my donuts a nice young man who had been sitting in the shop walked to the counter and paid the 1.94 for me. He was paying it forward, what a blessing. I've never had anything like that happen to me.  Today I went back for my usual apple fritter so I asked the clerk about the young man and told her of his good deed.  She told me this young man is about 24 years old, told me he paid for 6 customers that day. What really got me was when she said he had been working for a Trash company, fell off the truck and was injured. He settled with the company is now on total disability and says it's his way of just giving back.  My jaw dropped  and it brought tears to my eyes.  There are so many young people getting into trouble which is very sad, to see a young man doing positive things is just awsome !

That brought tears to my eyes. With all the misery in today's world there are many special people around us. How wonderful this happened to you and you cared enough to find out his story.
