Our Car D!ed at 2 A.M.—Years Later, the Man Who Stopped to Help Us Showed Up on the News
🚗 Stranded at 2 A.M. — A Stranger We’ll Never Forget
My wife and I were driving home late one night when our car suddenly broke down on an empty highway. No phones. No GPS. No help in sight.
After nearly an hour, a young man in a beat-up car pulled over and asked if we were okay. He couldn’t fix the engine, but he gave us a ride to a nearby town where we found a garage and motel.
On the way, he shared he was a college student working hard to pay for school. He never complained. Never asked for anything.
When I tried to give him money, he smiled and said, “Just happy to help.”
Years later, we saw him on the news — now a successful tech millionaire and quiet philanthropist.
His words stayed with us:
“Kindness is the best investment.”
The stranger who saved our night went on to change the world. 💙
