Cory Schneider, a Florida man, faced a difficult decision when he needed to part with the 1997 Ford Crown Victoria his late grandmother had gifted him after a car accident. Instead of selling it, he chose to do something meaningful.
He shared on Reddit, “1997 Ford Crown Victoria—white—around 100k miles, almost all driven by grandma. Damn good physical appearance for a 24-year-old car. I want to help someone who needs it with a free vehicle.”
The response was overwhelming, and after reviewing numerous requests, Schneider decided to give the car to Mark Selby, a 31-year-old substitute teacher, who had recently been in an accident that totaled his vehicle. Selby was living with his mother while recovering from his injuries.
Marcel Gruber, another kind hearted fellow from St. Petersburg, learned about Schneider’s generous act and decided to contribute by placing $400 in the car’s glove compartment to cover registration and other expenses.
As we can clearly see, kindness inspires kindness, therefore let’s not hold back on empathy, love and all that’s needed for a peaceful coexistence as we may just be the catalyst for a chain reaction of breathtaking acts of kindness.
