Story, beloved in her community for her selflessness, received an extraordinary gift—a brand-new car—from Philadelphia car dealer David Kelleher.
Story's mission of kindness began through the neighborhood app "Nextdoor," where she connected with neighbors in need of transportation. Among those she’s helped are April Goodwin, who battles ovarian cancer and relies on Story to reach vital medical appointments, and Kevin Horrigan, a blind man who depends on her rides to get to work. Despite her own challenges, including financial strain and a failing car, Story never stopped giving.
"Lyn's like a little angel; she really is," Horrigan said, reflecting the gratitude of many who have benefited from her kindness.
Story’s compassion caught the attention of "CBS Mornings" and journalist David Begnaud, whose report six months ago highlighted her efforts. That story resonated deeply with Kelleher, owner of David Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram in Philadelphia, known for his charitable spirit. Inspired, Kelleher decided to surprise Story with a gift that would make her mission safer and easier.
Begnaud arranged for Story to visit a Fort Worth dealership under the pretense of repairing her old car. Instead, Kelleher unveiled the surprise: a brand-new car, fully paid for, including title, tags, and an extended warranty. He also pledged to cover her insurance annually, ensuring she could continue her acts of kindness without financial worry.
"To know that I could help somebody in such a way that's been helping other people. I get so much out of it," Kelleher shared. "Now she's gonna be safe, it's gonna be dependable. She's gonna be able to help other people."
Overwhelmed with gratitude, Story named the car "The White Knight," a fitting symbol of her mission.
