Gimli Welcomes You to Michigan

Welcome back to Tire Mom! I’ve posted so many instances of my buying tires for people – 21 times, in fact – and they were all wonderful moments.  But my gift to Tire Mom #22 was especially memorable, and here’s why.

First, Gene himself. He was one of those rare, selfless people whose every thought, word and deed seemed to be for other people. Pastor of his own church, Gene also carved out time to help at-risk boys – of which there are unfortunately plenty – and feed the homeless in a soup kitchen. Some folks pointed me to him, and to his truck which had traveled many a mission-of-mercy mile.

So can you imagine what it felt like to buy a brand new set of tires for someone who is always on the giving end? I don’t know about you, but I LOVE knowing there are folks like that in our world.

If you want to post a comment – which, of course, I hope you do – will you tell us about a truly selfless person you’ve come across? Who knows – maybe it’s you?
