Humanity Act: Railroad Worker gets 100 People and repaints Couple’s House
A railroad worker, who daily waved Leonard Bullock, 75, and his wife, Dorothy, 70, every morning while going to work, has developed attachment with them. He could not tolerate when two teenagers criticized the state of the couple's home. He got 100 people and repainted the couple's home.
The incident has taken place in Oregon's small town Pendleton, where lived Bullock, a retired man living on Social Security, with his wife. All his time, he has worked as a fork lift driver and retired in 1995.
Due to low government pension, the couple did not have money to repaint the house, leave aside to refurbish it. Josh Cyganik, 35, a railroad inspector, used to pass by their house for four years. He used to wave to Leonard every morning and in return, Leonard also waved him from his front porch.
On one such day, two teenagers made a negative comment on the home's state. They said that the house should be burnt due to his ugly looks. Josh did not like what the teenagers said and also felt bad for Bullock, who had heard the comment.
Josh posted on Facebook about the entire thing and shared that he wanted to wish the man's house and asked for volunteers. He was amazed to see so many positive responses. On the day when paint had to be done, there were 20 people and by the end of the day, there were around 100. Local companies provided the donations and now, the man's house has been beautifully painted.
