I could say that Jimmy Preston was sent by God to assist John Brandeberry who walked from his home to his workplace in Toledo Ohio earlier this year. Jimmy who saw his chance to assist a stranger who needed some help gave John a ride to his job at Kroger. During the brief encounter between the two men, Jimmy decided to assist John take driver's education courses and fees to buy a used car through a not for profit group named Blessings In Disguise Jimmy then opened up a Go Fund Me page that would pay in full the price of a 2013 Toyota Rav4 auto that was paid to Jim White Toyota who gave Johnny the keys to his auto. Thanks to the donations of both Blessings In Disguise and Go Fund Me, Johnny has six months of auto insurance paid up thanks to the kindness of Jimmy Preston who I do not know if he is a rich person or a person who took a leap of faith to assist someone in need. Jimmy was overcome with joy that a chance meeting with Johnny would turn out to be his greatest reward in life.

It's a one of a kind story. I know somebody here who is very rich but very stingy who questions even a centavo from her workers. She is unwilling to give even additional food allowance to their own worker.

It is a shame that some rich people do not open their hearts to assist someone in need.

@Deepizzaguy I agree with you. Everytime she shouts at her lowly worker am being torn to pieces.

@florelway I feel sorry for her since she should realize when she passes away she will not take any of her materials with her. Just her soul.

He could've been both. Just because you have money, you're taking a leap of faith investing it into a stranger.

That's great he could do that for Johnny. Since Blessings in Disguise and Go Fund Me helped to get him the vehicle, I would say Jimmy wasn't rich.
