An elderly widow was quietly facing the possibility of freezing. With no money for firewood and no way to make it through the winter, she made a final, desperate phone call—not to ask for charity, but simply to survive. When Paul Brittain answered the call, he expected a routine request for firewood. Instead, he heard the unsteady voice of an 85-year-old woman who feared the cold settling into her home and the bills she couldn’t pay until her next check arrived.
She wasn’t asking for help—only hoping to buy enough wood to stay warm. Brittain didn’t hesitate. He loaded his truck and delivered the firewood to her home free of charge. Once there, he realized warmth was only part of her struggle. The roof was leaking. Her heat wasn’t working properly. Her car needed repairs. Brittain and his crew stepped in without question.
