Good Samaritan Helps Out Teen In Need at Car Repair Shop

Good Samaritan Helps Out Teen In Need at Car Repair Shop

Jack Bowen, 19, went to pick up his car at the repair shop, but he didn’t have enough money to cover the bill. That’s when a Good Samaritan overheard Jack’s troubles and decided to help with the bill.


We’ve all been there,” down on our luck” is the expression. Sometimes God uses these difficult times as teachable moments for us to learn humility. Other times God offers us mercy and blessings in the form of another person. In those moments, it reminds us that when things may be looking down there are still truly kind people out there who are allowing God to use them to bless others!

That’s what happened to Jack. After he couldn’t pay his car repair bill, another customer overheard his conversation with the car repair shop. The West Omaha Auto Service shop owner had been kind enough to let Jack take the car for the weekend while he secured the money to pay the bill. That was blessing #1.

But when this teenager’s mother called Monday morning to pay the bill, they were in for a beautiful surprise. Blessing #2 came in the form of an enveloped with an anonymous note left in the car repair shop key drop. In the envelope? Two hundred dollars to put towards Jack’s bill. The note read: “My husband was here Friday afternoon to pick up car and a young man and possibly his mother were here to pick up the young man’s car. He was having trouble getting financing to pay for repairs...I would like to donate to the bill, here’s $200 for the repairs.” When the shop owner told Jack and his Mom, they were blown away!

“It was a big shock. I was in tears!” Jack’s Mom said.

Jack shares, “You guys are a prime example that there’s still kindness in this world!... It really touched me and I’m eternally grateful!”

This is such a heartwarming story! We love hearing others step up to help each other and be a blessing to one another. We pray blessings on the couple that were so kind to help out and hope that it will encourage others to do the same!
