The elderly man, who wishes to remain anonymous, lives in Lake Charles which was hit hard by Hurricane Laura.

Making do in his hurricane-ravaged home with no electricity or running water, the man was hauling storm debris to the street when an SUV stopped in front of his home.

A woman hopped out and exchanged pleasantries with him. She was originally from this area, she told him, but now resides in Arizona.

As she left, she wished the man well and handed him an envelope.

Inside the envelope was a greeting card with a $50 bill inside and a hand-written note that read: "A little something from friends in Arizona. God bless you!"

"The bad thing is I didn't even get her name and there was no return address on the envelope. I can't even tell her thank you," he said.

The man says he plans to use the money to repair his water well pump damaged by the storm.
