So I was reading posts from the day on good ol Facebook.... Selfies, complaints, links, sarcastic sayings ect when I came across this story from my cousin. From what I gathered he was going to investigate complaints made about this house (he works for the city) with 4ft tall weeds, garbage all over the yard, basement windows open for any ol critter to climb in... Just nastiness. Naturally he thought this house was vacant & abandoned so went to put a notice on the door. He knocked & 2 kids came to the door about 6-7yrs followed by their mother. The mother asked why the city hasn't picked up any of her garbage, my cousin proceeded to inform her off the new bylaw concerning the garbage containers. Afterwards embarrassed she said she wasn't aware of this because she had no Internet or t.v in her home anymore. My cousin seeing the condition of the home, yard, woman, kids then went to McDonalds, bought $40 worth of food & handed it to the kids who answered the door n told him it was a treat & left before the mother could come to the door.
This act of kindness should happen more often. Pay it forward people... My cousin sure did. You've been spotted Todd Hamilton #payitforward #spottedinwindsor #mcdonalds
