It doesn’t matter who we are, we could all use some help from time to time. There are some people, however, who can find themselves in a situation where if they don’t get assistance, it could be dangerous.
Recently, someone living in Liverpool found themselves in a situation where they needed help. Fortunately, there was a plumber who was not only willing to help, he would go viral for his kindness.
James, the plumber who lives in Liverpool is on a mission. He wants to help as many people as possible and he is doing it by fixing their plumbing. In itself, that isn’t all that amazing but he is doing it for free, which is special.
I think that most of us know somebody in our community who could use this type of assistance. We have friends and neighbors and sometimes, they aren’t able to care for these matters on their own.
The problem is, that many people who find themselves in such a situation are not comfortable with asking for help, especially if they are not able to afford it. James, however, is insisting that the person he helped will have free plumbing for life.
Although it would be easy to take all the credit, he says that his actions are part of a community effort. He also says that it is something that makes him feel good, so he wants to expand his efforts to cover the country and not just his local area.
He has other plumbers who are willing to help and it is his goal to have this service available in every city and town across the country.
The old lady that he helped in this story was terminally ill and at 91, she certainly needed her heat on in the winter. Not only was he able to fix her boiler, he gave her a bill for zero dollars.
He also said that it really only took about 10 minutes to do the job, and his bosses never bothered him by giving away his services when they were needed. It’s a beautiful thing when kindness shows itself in this way.
