I thought this was newsworthy and wanted a story written giving credit to a young man, Brock Stute, who reached out to help a single mother of two boys (one struggling with leukemia).

Today, I was out trying to shovel a very long driveway for my daughter, Sarah Fearn. She recently had shoulder surgery and is limited as to what she can lift. I am 64 years young, struggling to shovel at the end of the driveway, when along came this young man on a quad. He stopped and asked if I wanted him to plow. 

"How much do you charge?" I asked. 

"Twenty dollars," he replied. 

"Well, I don't have cash; but if you give me your name and phone, I'll gladly give you something." I mentioned my daughter being unable to shovel. 

He then replied, "I'll do it for free." 

"No," I insisted on paying him.

So he began plowing and went above and beyond to clear our driveway.

What a blessing! So very thoughtful and helpful. While he may have done it for free, I gladly paid him $45.

Thank you.
