This morning on the way home from the hosp there was a girl stranded on the side of the road, car stuck in the snow in a ditch on its side. I stopped to ask if she was ok and needed anything especially since the temps were 22 below, I was concerned; she was not hurt, but her cell phone had died, no one was answering their doors or were not home at the neighboring houses, and she had been out there for an hour. She warmed up in the car and used my cell to call her folks and a tow truck. I told her to tell them who I was and where I lived so they would hopefully not be as worried about this stranger helping. It was 2 hours later before the the tow truck came but fortunately and amazingly the tow company was able to get the car out and it RAN, straight and true!! She was fortunate and able to get to work. It is sad to me that she could not believe someone would actually stop to help but good to know that working together someone could be helped.
