Bridget Stevens is a mother of two from Pennsylvania (USA).
Her husband, Bobby, is with the US Army and has been deployed overseas for six
months. During the winter months, when the young lady discovers her heating
isn't working anymore, she can no longer turn to her husband for help so she
contacts a company belonging to the handyman, Paul Betlyn. Bridget writes about
what happens next on Facebook:
"I came home with my two boys and realized the temperature
in our house was 50ºF. When I couldn't turn on the heating, I called up Paul
Betlyn's heating and plumbing company. I was quite certain I would get put
through to an answering machine and thought I would have to go buy a fan heater
somewhere. But Paul answered immediately and gave me all kinds of instructions
as to how to get the heating working again. Nothing seemed to work, so he came
over to my house and got started on it.
While he worked on fixing the heating, we began talking
about my husband, Bobby, and how he had been deployed overseas. I told him that
I would normally turn to him in times like this. When the heater started to
work again, I got a bit worried about how much it was all going to cost. Then
he gave me this receipt, on which he noted the following:
'No heat. Evening call. Deployment discount: $1'
Even when I tried to give him money, he said the $1 amount
was just a joke and that he had done it for free. He wanted me to thank my
husband for his service.
So thank you Paul Betlyn. My house is nice and warm thanks
to you."
A small, simple gesture, which meant the world to the young
mother and her family. It's nice to know there are people like that around!
