Every Saturday, Angela Nguyen delivered pizza to an old trailer home. She never cared to inquire about her customer, 76-year-old Mr. Lee.
But one day, Angela’s daughter, who worked with her, asked her mother to peek inside the small dwelling. When Angela finally did, she was taken aback.
Inside was chaos, and the man himself looked far from well. In their conversation, it emerged that he had been living in the trailer for years, having lost his home due to a natural disaster. With no family around, Lee Haase had to make do with what little he had.
Angela couldn’t bear to witness this and, together with her daughter Sarah, decided to do whatever they could to help the elderly man. She put out a plea on social media and was amazed at how people rallied to assist.
Within a few months, they managed to raise over $30,000, enough to purchase new housing for Lee.
The old man was incredibly happy to have a roof over his head again, but what delighted him even more was that this whole experience had connected him with wonderful people who became his friends.
