Paul Brittain, the owner of a tree and crane service in North Carolina, delivered free firewood to 85-year-old widow Nana Abernathy after she called his company saying she could not afford wood to heat her home.
When he arrived and began stacking a generous load of firewood for her, Nana became overwhelmed with emotion and hugged him in tears.
Brittain’s kindness did not stop there.
After learning more about Nana’s situation, he fixed her car tires, repaired her roof, and helped address problems with her heating and air conditioning, all at no cost.
He also organized community support, including yard cleanup, and started a GoFundMe to help her through the holidays.
The fundraiser went on to raise more than $20,000.
