Grateful for angelic neighbor after Hurricane Matthew

We have an angel in our neighborhood, and his name is Randy Gardner. We are in our mid-80s and have to pay people to do work in our yard, to do the things we were able to manage in our 60s. We were fortunate not to sustain any major damage from Hurricane Matthew, but our yard was a disaster.

Before we could begin to arrange for any of our children to come help clean up, which would result in them having to take time off from work, Randy just showed up, on his own accord, with all the necessary tools needed to clean our l00-foot by 140-foot yard.

After seven hours of hard work, every twig, branch, and even the leaves, were all in two large debris piles. He has no end of energy, and we are beyond grateful to this wonderful angel.
