    Bit of a back story to this one - a channel that I have taken a bit of a shine to on YouTube, ran by a gentleman called Ron Pratt in the US, shows videos where he shows his daily goings on in the business of vehicle recovery. Large or small, smashed or broken down, he will recover it.

    But, Ron is different. He has a strong Christian faith, and he is the epitome of a good Christian. No matter who he encounters, he treats them with the utmost respect, sympathy, empathy and is genuinely caring about their predicament. A number of weeks ago, he had a call to a lady (not the youngest of people, and clearly not in the best of health, and I would guess suffering from COPD) who had broken down in her Ford Taurus (Ford Mondeo to you and me), and he towed her car to a garage to be repaired.

    The required repairs were expensive, and the lady could not afford them; Ron was called again to tow the car from the garage to her house. During the travel, Ron learned that the lady concerned was also a Christian who liked to listen to a certain Christian radio station - only, her current radio could no longer receive that station.

    Many of the responses to the second video were calling for Ron to set up a GoFundMe page as the viewers were keen to help this lady - the video below is part 3 where Ron, his wife and his son went to visit the lady with the results of the GoFundMe.
