A Random Old Couple Helped Me And My Daughter Get Home
By dani • August 5, 2025
I felt like I needed to share this especially because of of the kindness I experienced as someone who seems to never get treated well.
I was stranded 1.5 hours away from home, my car over-heated and I had my daughter at a therapy center. I tried to add coolant to my car which usually works but this time it didn't, every time I tried to drive, my gauge went up to H for my engine being hot.
I broke down crying as I'm far away from home, I don't have any friends or family willing or able to help me and I knew that. I made the decision to pick up my daughter early from therapy and TRY to make it home. I told myself I would stop every 10 miles to fill my coolant and should be fine.
( I prayed )
So as I'm going to get my daughter something tells me to pull over into a Bi-mart parking lot in passing. So I did. I opened my hood and added coolant.
I started crying.
An old couple came up to me and asked if I needed help. The old man said he used to be a mechanic. I said I didn't know what was wrong besides my car over heating. He looked inside and realized one of my two engine fans wasn't working. I started crying again, I'm extremely overwhelmed and all I could think was how I would get home. I recently lost my job of eight years and without a paycheck I couldn't afford a tow.
Long story short: not only did they drive me to get my daughter from therapy, they drove me almost two hours to get home. Before that, they took me to their home and made me a meal. They gave me 60$ and told me to get what I needed for me and my daughter so I got diapers, food, wipes.
Not only that, but a couple days later when I finally found someone to go get my car, the fan was working. I left my car unlocked and my heart believes that the old man went back and fixed it, because it works now and I was able to drive it home.
I thank God every day, because I don't believe in coincidences, and without them I really don't know how I can would've made it home besides trying to walk. So thank you, Tim and Paula.
