May 6, 2024

Today's good news story comes from Manchester, England.

In a heartwarming display of generosity and dedication, a mystery man, hailing from Kenya and now a proud citizen of Manchester, demonstrated the true spirit of giving as he camped out for 17 hours to be among the first in line at the grand opening of the first-ever Popeye's restaurant in Greater Manchester.

"I knew I was going to win this. I'm not here to play games. They told me I've broken a record for the longest wait," he told Manchester Evening News.

But for this unnamed hero, the excitement wasn't just about being among the first to taste the famous Popeye's chicken sandwiches; it was about something far more meaningful.

"It's not just because it's free food," he explained to the Manchester Evening News, "but, apart from eating Popeyes here and there, I can help feed some of the local homeless with it."

Despite his desire to remain anonymous, his actions speak volumes about his character and his unwavering commitment to making a difference in the lives of others.

"As a citizen of Manchester, and a citizen of the UK, I feel like I need to help people out when I can," he affirmed.

"Thank all glory to God, I can afford food, I can afford a car, so if I can help others out, why not?"
