A Generous Man

 A Generous Man

In 1986 a desperate farmer, Leneord Hill, took his own life in the morning his farm was to go to a sherriff's courthouse auction, believing his life insurance could pay enough to save the cotton & soybean plantation that was in his family for over 100 years.  A complete stranger in Queens N.Y. read about this story & paid off the remaining $77,000 mortgage.

A USMC Sergeant on a PSTD medical leave spent 7 months in a Mexican prison for getting lost and accidentally crossing the border from California with a legal firearm in his car.  He was beaten and tortured in their prison while the legal processes worked their way through Mexican courts. When he was finally released, the man from Queens sent him a check for $25,000 "To get you re-started."
In 2013 A black bus driver stopped on a bridge, talked down and saved a suicidal young lady from jumping off to her death. Our Queens man sends this hero a check for $10,000. 

In 1988, a Rabbi's critically ill son needed to go from NYC to California for specialty care and treatments to save his life. No airline will fly him because of the risks, and the family could not afford an ambulance flight.  The young man's life was saved. A generous man from Queens paid for a private flight for the child and his parents, as well as the expenses during their stay.

In 2017, after an Army Corporal Dillon Baldridge was killed in Afghanistan in a fire fight while saving trapped fellow troops, a generous man in Queens sent his father a check for $25,000.

This kind-hearted and generous man from Queens, NY, has committed many other "quiet acts of random kindness" over the years without fanfair or expectations of publicity, or repayment.

A wise man once said, "If a man's heart is good, Nothing else matters, & if a man's heart is bad, Nothing else matters."
Who was this anonomous and kind man???
Now President, Donald J. Trump - a man with a good and decent heart. Some would say he could well afford it, but the point is, he didn't have to do anything!!!

We wonder if Joe Biden has ever done anything even close to this?
