Amanda Fessler’s young daughter had just had brain surgery, and she was driving her and other family members home from the hospital. Suddenly, the car broke down in the middle of the 2-hour trip. She got off the highway and a tow truck driver was nice enough the get Amanda and her family to a hotel for the night. But what could she do with her car?
The following is what Amanda posted on Facebook a short time later: “In the midst of all the craziness on Monday, with my Aunt’s funeral, my daughter being discharged from A I DuPont hospital, the car breaking down (in between 3 lanes of traffic coming off of 95 South onto RT 1 to my left and merging traffic to my right), then getting towed to a hotel for the night in Christiana, we had an angel looking out for us.
This man recognized our distress in the morning while trying to replace the car’s serpentine belt. He not only offered his tools, he came in and saved the day. Not many people would have been so generous and rushed to the aid to help others. His assistance came at a real time of need. Our check out time was growing near and my daughter desperately needed to get home to recover from her brain surgery. I could not thank him enough for all that he did.
Please help me show him some love by sharing this post in hopes that it finds him. He was definitely our angel that day.”
After Amanda’s post had been shared some 4,000 times in a very short period, “that man” or “that angel” was identified as Donta Thompson. The mechanic said he tries to help people out whenever he can because he feels it’s the right thing to do.
