Random Kindness, Freezing Weather, Warm Hearts
When New Jersey was pummeled by winter storm Quinn in early March, many residents were left without power. And while some local companies might have seen the outages as a prime opportunity to garner new business, one man, Andrew Van Jura IV, owner of the family-run Quality Comfort Heating and Cooling business in Somersville, New Jersey, decided he did not want to take advantage of others’ hardships to earn money.
“Because of the unfortunate situation [put] on the community, between losing power and going through another storm ... I am providing free labor to repair anyone’s gas/propane furnace that breaks as a result of the power outage and surge. I believe in helping my community in need and it’s my pleasure,” Van Jura shared on a community Facebook group page the day before the winter storm hit.
“I will get your family through it [by] helping with damage control,” he added.
