Repairman Makes Special Offer When He Learns Why Woman’s Husband Is Away
By Dreamer
Bridget is a busy mom of two young kids. When it comes to fixing things around the house, she usually turns to her husband for help. However, that’s not possible these days…
Bobby and Bridget Stevens are a happy couple from Pennsylvania. Their story is similar to many military marriages, considering Bobby is deployed and Bridget is left to manage their home and kids alone.
Recently, Bridget came home to a freezing house and realized her furnace was broken. It’s winter in her hometown of Pennsylvania, and way too cold for her and her children to bear. So, she got in touch with Betlyn Heating and Cooling in Coraopolis. The owner, Paul, agreed to drive to her home to help her turn the heat back on.
As Paul was working on the furnace, he and Bridget started casually chatting about their lives. She said she’d normally work on fixing the furnace alongside her husband, but he’s currently on deployment and not there to help her. She continued the conversation without putting too much thought into the information she just shared.
But when Bridget went to pay Paul for his services, he handed her a receipt — with a handwritten note scribbled across the surface. When Bridget looked down, she was stunned.
When Paul finished, she explained that she was “apprehensive” about the cost of the furnace repairs. So, when he handed her the receipt, she was more than shocked to see that it said “deployment discount” and charged her only a dollar for his service. She explains, “When I tried to give him any money at all, he said that the $1 was a joke, and to thank my husband for his service.”
It’s nice to hear that a soldier was recognized for his service. There aren’t many people out there who would be willing to not only drop everything to help fix a problem, but also take a financial hit to their business to make sure a soldier’s family was warm.
