We like to think that when members of our community are in need, a Good Samaritan will step in to lift that person to their feet. But this isn't always a perfect world, which is what makes the following story so worthy of praise.
Connie Cole is a 32-year-old single mother with three children that she provides for in part by working shifts at a local sub shop in her Black Mountain, North Carolina town. It goes without saying that for Connie and her family, finances are tight. But thanks to a thoughtful stranger, she'll have an easier time getting herself and her family around.
Connie had been having a tough time getting between work and home without the help of her father, and she'd decided to approach a local car dealer about purchasing a used vehicle. A stranger had overheard her discussing her plight and the potential debt she'd be set back for a car. The anonymous man then contacted the dealership and offered to pay for the cost of the vehicle.
“Connie sounded so desperate since the car she had broke down,” the dealership owner Wesley Gurley told ABC News. “The guy said he heard the distress in her voice and he wanted to go home and pray about maybe buying her that car.”
ABC reports that the man paid the $2,200 — with an additional $800 provided by Connie's father — needed for the title to be signed over. He wants to remains nameless, but reportedly said that his gesture was an extension of his faith.
Connie discloses that she cried and thanked the man, and that he then handed her an additional $100, telling her "the first tank of gas was on him.”
