And the Hispanic never imagined that he would receive a surprise from good Samaritans in the area.
–
At first, Alonso Zaragoza, a Belmont Cragin resident, thought that the small notes taped to the residences were some fraud, but later realized that it was something real, he said in an interview with Univision.
–
“At first I thought it was false, because a man of that age handing out slips of paper to work seemed exaggerated to me,” said Zaragoza. However, he explained that later he saw a video sent to him of Don Ramón mowing the lawn with an old and heavy machine, which was turned off, and decided to put his grain of sand.
–
Zaragoza indicated that it decided to open a Go Fund Me account to buy a new lawn mower for the man, so that he could make his job easier without getting hurt.
–
“Don Ramón was seen a few days ago taking out handwritten pieces of paper in the rain. The notes say he is looking for a job cutting grass. He is an older man. He got work from his neighbors, but his lawn mower failed him twice today. We want to get you a new lightweight mower and
self-propelled so you can keep working, but this time not so hard. He has bills to pay, but he also values working ”, Read the GoFundMe brief.
–
Since the page opened, the good Samaritans have raised at least $ 8,474 for Don Ramón. An amount of money that left the man speechless.
–
“I thank you infinitely. I do not know what to say to them, more than thanks ”, Don Ramón appears saying in a video between tears.
–
Don Ramón also received support from a local barber shop, who, inspired by the man’s work, decided to give him a year of free haircuts.
–
Now Don Ramón will be able to continue cutting the grass of his neighbors, but with a better machine thanks to the hand of good Samaritans.
