A True Act of Kindness – Humanity Still Exists*

I want to share a story that has truly restored my faith in people.

MJ Contractors, and Michael in particular, came knowingly to help an old age pensioner in his 70s, Joe, who lives on his own and desperately needed his bathroom roof repaired. The roof was rotten and it was a job far bigger than he could afford to pay for.

Joe is a cancer survivor, living alone, with no money to pay for a job as big as this. Michael didn’t hesitate. He not only came and did the work, he went out and bought the material needed to repair the roof properly and make Joe safe and dry before the winter set in.

I honestly thought this type of charity did not exist anymore.

It brought me right back to my childhood, when my father would take people in from the roadside at Christmas time. They got fed at my home, and their car fixed for nothing, just to allow them travel safely to join their own family for the rest of Christmas. That is the kind of kindness Michael showed Joe.

The only small gesture Joe’s family and friends can offer is to say, "THANK YOU."

With all that is happening in the world, and the greed we see daily, I have to say Michael from MJ Construction shows humanity still exists.

Joe’s priest called this a miracle, and also said thank you for very kindly helping out one of his parishioners in need.

Michael, you didn’t just fix a roof. You gave an old man dignity, warmth, safety and peace of mind. You will never know what this has meant to Joe and to all  who love him.

Thank you, MJ Contractors.
