The Goodness of America
Two Times the Kindness
Jimmy Ford, a repo man in O’Fallon, Illinois, helped an elderly couple not once but twice in the last six months.
Around Thanksgiving last year, Ford had to repossess Pat and Stanford Kipping’s 1998 Buick because they had missed their last five payments. The Kippings explained that they could not afford the vehicle payments because they were spending a great deal of money on medications for Stanford’s dementia, some of which they had had to forgo because the price of the medication had doubled. Ford decided to help the couple by creating a GoFundMe page, which raised approximately $25,000 and allowed the Kippings to pay off the vehicle,
Today.com reported.
Ford’s family and friends were among the GoFundMe page donors, and even detailed the car and changed the oil for them. Another friend bought the couple a turkey for Thanksgiving.
