We never know when we will do something greater. But it usually happens when we least
expect it. When John Kinney turned up at Gloria Scott's house in Woburn, Massachusetts, he
thought he was there to repair the 72－year－old woman's lights.
After completing the job, John went home, but he kept thinking about Gloria and a lot of
other repairs much needed—pipe damage, holes in the ceiling dangerous front steps, the leaking
roof and so on. She told him that she lived alone and felt lonely.
John decided to take action. Even though he couldn't rebuild her whole house, he could make
it safe and livable for her. He worked on Gloria's home by himself for free before getting some
friends and volunteers involved. But there were so many repairs needed, so he looked for more
help online, with a simple description of the situation: “Nice old lady needs help.” In just 24
hours, $3，500 was already raised. And he also had loads of volunteers turning up to lend a
helping hand.
While this all has been going on, Gloria has enjoyed watching the process and getting to
know the volunteers. She's been here by herself for over 10 years, so it's a big change for her.
She's so happy and has got all types of new friends. She's out here making lunch for these kind
volunteers, laughing and joking. It's just a miracle to witness. Meanwhile, John's whole family
have formed a special bond with the 72－year－old woman. Even all the repairs done, John
continues visiting. “She reminds me of my grandmother，” he said. “It doesn't stop here.
