Its always great to help people out and there's really no words that can describe the felling you get when there is a positive responsive from it!
I'll give you guys a little story of a hand I lent.....

I was coming back from town one day with my 3 yr son in our 1991 hopped up Mustang 5.0, I spotted a car up against the center concrete median, the car was traveling about 40 MPH it was bouncing on and off the concrete median. I slowed down to see what was going on and I could see that the female driver had her head against the drives window, she was unresponsive to the jolting of the car..I knew that the concrete barriers were going to end soon and she may have crossed over into on coming traffic......
With out a second to hesitate I race up in front of her and allowed her car to run in to the back of me and once her car bumped me (I was pacing her speed) I then brought both cars to a controlled stop.
I jump out of my car and ran back as her car was trying to push mine.
When I got back to her car the doors were lock and she was still unresponsive, I had to break the window out and reach in to shut the car off......
Come to find out, she was in a seizure. We call for medical help. The woman came out of the seizure and away she went in the ambuliance...
I did not stick around as I felt I did what I could and moved on!
I'm sure the women and her family would be grateful to know who I am or what I did but I feel better letting them think their family is watched over by ANGELS!

You are to be commended for your selfless act. I believe you did the right thing in remaining anonymous. This year while deer hunting, my son had to go to a local country store where hunters and locals gather. A man and his son came in and shortly thereafter, he collapsed. My son has had Combat Lifesaver Training in the Army as well as EMT Training in addition to having been a Police Officer, so he began CPR. He kept it up for thirty minutes until the ambulance arrived. He then got in his truck and came back to camp. All the family knows is that someone cared enough to lend a hand.

I live in a small town of about 800 people. We have a couple of men and a few kids who have people that pay them to move the snow. I won't cut into their business, but I do know of a few seniors, widows, and widowers. I have a carry all on the 3pt that I carry my 928e SB on which I use to clear their sidwalks after I clear their drives. Some were friends of my father, whom they did favors for and whom he did favors for. When I help them I feel that I am honoring my father. Some of them are Vets, I do it as a thank you. Many though know not who I am, and that is fine with me. My identity is important only to me, my conscience and my God.

My neighbor across the street past away back in the fall. He kept a well groomed property and enjoyed being outdoors. I feel very sad for his wife. They were married for 40+ years. I keep her drive and walkway free of snow so she can get her mail without the worry of falling. She broke her leg last year after a nasty fall. I went home to GA to visit my mom and came back to 6in of snow. Her son came by with his snowblower and cut me a path to the garage door before I arrived home. He said it was the least he could do for me plowing his mother's drive. Giving a little of your time to someone does come back around when you need it the most it seems.

It works both ways. I am lucky to live in one of these great neighborhoods with many other like minded individuals where I do whatever I can to help whenever the oportunity arrives. However, a few weeks ago after our first real snowstorm I was putting on my boots on to go out and plow my driveway.:thumbsup::thumbsup: I was excited. I then heard the sound of steel bouncing on gravel down my driveway. My neighbor was plowing my driveway I went out and asked him if he didnt have enough snow at his house . He did leave some for me.
If my worst problem is that someone else plows my driveway then I guess Im in pretty good shape.

I plow up to 8 drives for free every time it snows. Never thought twice about it. I have plowed commercially in the past and even then I had my pro Bono drives. My one neighbor flagged me down this week and gave me a giant bag of home made perogees and a case of imported polish beer. I put everything in my backhoe bucket and finished plowing. They were great for dinner and the beer was top notch. I also clear the side street intersections after the county plows them in. I do it because I can and I know it will make their day a little easier. I hope someday someone will help me out when I need it. I am glad that so many of the other members on here will and do the same. Fining selfless acts these days is rare.

This post has made for a good testomony , after watching the news , ( there are still some of us that try to make ths a better place , and help others .)

I ever understand why it is so hard to do something nice and selfless once in a while. I think it's a shame that we have become a culture that doesn't look out for one another. We would rather video the bad thing happening then try to help
