I'm not religious, but there are angels on earth.

[Lunabell]

My wife and I were at the medical marijuana dispensary, she's in a wheelchair. We got into a conversation with a man and his wife. Nice people. When he heard that my disabled Navy veteran wife didn't have a wheelchair ramp outside our front door he got livid.

"They treat our veterans like shit." he said. Then he volunteered to build her a ramp. We exchanged numbers thinking, what a nice man. His wife was just as lovely. We didn't really expect anything seeing as how nothing in life is free and we thought he was just making pleasantries.

To make a long story short, he is at my house right now with his wife and he is making good on his word. Not some fly by night ramp either, a good sturdy one that is cemented in. Paid for all the elements out of his own pocket and won't take a dime from us.

Clint and his lovely wife Shelly have restored my faith in humanity. I had to share this feel good story in this day and age. People, pay it forward. Do a kindness for someone. Karma is real and it can either be a bitch or a blessing.

I'm not religious, but very thankful for this blessing.

[Frustratedlady]

1. Super! He's probably getting as good a feeling about that ramp as you.

His good turn will be rewarded.

[NightWatcher]

2. Damn good for nothing stoners...

Kidding of course. (Stoned a little now on a nice indica vape of Dos I Dos myself right now). I love chatting up the people at the dispensary. It's a VERY eclectic mix of humans.

Good on y'all. What are you enjoying from the marijuana mart tonight?

[Lunabell]

5. I know, right.

Stoners unite. I'm not enjoying anything from the marijuana mart right now cause I'm working. But I'm quite sure they are smoking out.

[proud patriot]

3. wonderful

[GeoWilliam750]

4. Yes, there are

Also,

"Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me."

[donkeypoofed]

6. Sometimes God sends us humans to help, too

And I agree with the ramp builder - veterans deserve better! They deserve the best.

[demosincebirth]

15. That's what humans are for - to help each other.

[Lady Freedom Returns]

7. That's great!

I'm sure it is going to help a lot.
🏅 to Clint!

[watoos]

8. Something that Trump will never learn

The only way to get anything out of life is by giving.

[TomSlick]

9. Thanks. I need to hear stories about people doing good.

Don't tell me you "support the troops." Show me.

[Lunabell]

11. Yes!

This man is toiling in 100 degree weather for her. I am bowled over and so thankful. He's not even a vet, has a bad back and had his house destroyed during hurricane Michael, but he is out there helping others. I'm so grateful, he just doesn't even know.

[diverdownjt]

33. Show me...

Words are cheap...Actions are everything

Thx for that Tomslick

[MLAA]

10. I am not religious however I wholly believe in what I call Earth Angels

The right person showing up right time when they are needed 💫

Corrected typo 🙂

[Lunabell]

12. He is our earth angel.

There really are good people out there folks.

[George II]

24. Not exactly in keeping with your story, but it reminded me of this song:

[a kennedy]

13. Love this story......and so happy your wife has a ramp now.

There ARE angels here on earth.

[Doreen]

14. What a wonderful couple.

I am so happy that I am crying.

[Dem2theMax]

21. Me too.

I really needed to hear something like this. I just spent a few hours on the phone with an old friend from high school, who happens to think Trump walks on water.

He was deaf to every fact I gave him. So to read a story like this, it helps me to know that kind, wonderful people are still out there, and that there's still hope for us.

[Doreen]

22. Sad then happy.

[CDerekGo]

16. If only

I do realize that you and your wife are not the only ones to see this from our Government, but sure as hell hope this story gets out to others for the rest of the World to see and read!

[pnwmom]

17. Thank you for sharing this! And thanks to both you and your wife for your sacrifices in service.

[Honeycombe8]

18. What a wonderful story. Restores faith in humanity.

Some religious people say that doing good on earth is not what it's all about, and it doesn't help a person get into heaven. I don't believe that for a second, if there is a heaven (or whatever kind of heaven anyone may believe in or hope there is). It doesn't make sense that kindness and helping others and helping earth itself wouldn't have value.

A wonderful story about wonderful people.

[cpamomfromtexas]

19. Oh. This made my heart sing!

[tymorial]

20. Stories like this make me hope for the human race

[BlancheSplanchnik]

23. Thank you for sharing this experience!

I’m so happy you and your wife have a great karmic blessing! 💜

[Freedomofspeech]

25. This truly made my day!

[FailureToCommunicate]

27. Great story of a generous man! Magic can happen when we connect with others and

share a bit of our trials and tribulations.

So glad for you and your wife!

[lunasun]

28. Thank you for sharing this personal feel good story . I'm glad your wife has a ramp now

Clint knew a skill to help out and did !
Some good people

[fierywoman]

29. Thnak you for sharing this story -- it put sunshine in my day (and

I live in the Pacific NorthWest !!!)

[Lunabell]

30. Y'all need all the sunshine you can get.

Warm hugs from sunny 100 degree Florida.

[fierywoman]

31. XOXO...

[calimary]

32. WUNNNNNNderful story, Lunabell.

An uplifting story for a down-in-the-dumps time. Just when we need one or two - or several thousand.

[MFM008]

34. Your right

They are angels!

[BlueJac]

35. K&R

[Seinan Sensei]

36. Check with your local VA

Clint and Shelly indeed are angels. I would add, however, that it always is good to check with the VA, to see what they have to offer. The VA has built ramps for many Veterans.

[NJCher]

37. my eyes were a little dry this morning

So Clint and Shelly solved that problem, too.

[saidsimplesimon]

38. I salute the "angels" on this,

another Memorial Day with the orange buffoon spreading his vision of make US disrespected world wide rhetoric. For my deceased brother the Marine in Viet Nam and my Army father in WW2.

39. Outstanding

This Navy vet salutes Clint and Shelly’

[Bernardo de La Paz]

40. If you return the favor or pay it forward, you make his generous capital work twice or more.

Glad you have received such generosity in this day and age.

[JudyM]

42. This. We can all make the world a better place, at least one corner at a time.

[corbettkroehler]

41. We Never Can Repay Our Veterans Fully But We Must Try Our Best

Such an excellent example! You're right - there are angels among us!

[bitterross]

43. I wish our common vocabulary were not so entrenched in religious terms.

I think your OP is great and the people who helped out are wonderful humans.

As an atheist of the more rabid variety, yes, I admit that, I wish we had terms in our common vocabulary that easily replaced terms like "angel" and "good Samaritan." I wish that the term atheist were not equated with negative and bad thoughts for so many.

I do not choose to be offended by the use of these terms because I know they convey the intended meaning of "kind, caring, wonderful human" in a single word. That people such as you do not have a religious intent and do not intend to call these wonderful humans supernatural beings.

I just wish for a world where people are not so entrenched in religion and the false promises of an afterlife.

In my personal opinion, the ills religion has forced upon humanity have far outweighed its value.

[Lunabell]

44. In the words of debbie downer,

Womp, womp.

[BobTheSubgenius]

45. How I love this story.

Here in BC, medically-necessary ramps can be subsidized by the govt. I don't know if that's turned the mini-industry into a cash-heavy scam, but they are ridiculously expensive.

I offered to build one for my friend who had terminal cancer. but she opted to go with a specialist. This was 2008 or 2009, and it cost $3500. I mentioned this to a carpentercpntractpr I know, and his comment was "If you're building ramps and not making $1000 a day, there's something wrong."

It's so lovely to hear that your experience is the exact opposite. What great, great people!!!
