College Hunks to the Rescue


College Hunks Hauling Junk became the darling of social media this past weekend. Some of the moving company’s employees were stuck in an elevator in Tampa, Florida, with an elderly woman. The woman said she wasn’t able to stand for long periods of time. Cesar Larios got on his hands and knees. He became a human chair for the woman until the elevator was fixed and moving again.

Nick Friedman, co-founder and president of the moving company said, "The response to the picture is mind blowing. Thousands of people are sharing it and posting it on social media. I think what's great about it is that it's a genuine moment caught on camera. A lot of people say the younger generation has lost certain values. But one small picture shows that chivalry and hard work are still very much alive in our youth."

I wonder if she will pass along the kindness? It certainly inspired me for today’s gift—give Tim a Smile card to give to a woman he was to visit in the hospital. She can then help someone else and give them the card. The moving company needs smile cards to give to people when their employees show compassion for others. It really puts a new perspective on College Hunks.

In Giving,
Robin
