Angela Nguyen, a dedicated pizza delivery person, went above and beyond her call of duty to save the life of one of her regular customers. Little did she know that her caring nature would play such a crucial role in the life of 76-year-old Lee Haase. Every Saturday, Angela would deliver his order like clockwork, but one day, she noticed something heartbreaking about his living conditions. Lee needed help, and Angela was determined to make a difference.
Angela’s daughter, Sarah, who is also a delivery person, had noticed where Lee was living – a 12-foot camper with no heat, plumbing, or electricity. Sarah shared this information with her mother, and they both knew that they had to take action. Angela couldn’t bear the thought of a fellow human being living in such dire circumstances. She said, “We can’t let a human being live like this. We’ve got to do something.”
Angela began by buying a heater for Lee’s trailer, but she knew she had to do more. She started a GoFundMe campaign with the goal of raising the money needed to help Lee. The response was overwhelming. In just two months, over $32,000 was raised, thanks to the incredible generosity of the community and even donors from afar. Angela was moved by the outpouring of support, saying, “Every single one of us enjoyed doing this. This ain’t all for Lee. We all benefited.”
With the funds raised, Lee was able to purchase a new home, leaving behind the harsh conditions of the trailer. The community came together once again, donating furniture and clothes to ensure that Lee had everything he needed for a fresh start. Lee expressed his gratitude, saying, “It’s wonderful. I’m so grateful for the people doing this.”
The heartwarming video capturing Lee’s reaction touched the hearts of many. Viewers were moved to tears by the selflessness of Angela and the community. One commenter wrote, “This is absolutely amazing. It brought me to tears, what a wonderful community! God bless Lee and everyone who helped raise all that money!” Another person remarked, “Look at her… now you know what the face of an angel looks like! She may not be wealthy, but she chose to help another human being she didn’t even know well.”
Angela’s act of kindness reminds us all of the power of compassion and the impact we can have on someone’s life. The story of Lee and Angela’s friendship serves as a heartening reminder that a small act of kindness can make a world of difference, even to a stranger.
