Small Community, BIG HEART

You meet the nicest people in Ajax!

I was out canvassing again last night and met a woman, stricken with grief over her husband’s terminal illness, mounting bills, isolation and worrying about her uncut lawn that might be upsetting her neighbours, of all things. Her lawnmower had broken down and she had no means of fixing it.

As it happened, several houses away, a gentleman was out mowing his lawn. I introduced myself to him and we got talking. I asked him if he knew of his neighbour’s situation and he said he didn’t. He immediately volunteered to help her and proceded to push his lawn mower down the street to her house and mowed her lawn!

So, to him, and others like that very kind gentleman, THANK YOU!

Ajacians really do have a BIG heart.

More tomorrow
