Disabled man given $5,000 after car stolen

[joeybee12]

A local businessman has come forward to write a $5,000 check to a disabled Miami, Fla., man whose car was stolen Monday night.

"This $5,000 saved my life because I have no money to afford to buy a car,” Fontaine said, holding the check Thursday.

When Fontaine’s gray 1996 Nissan Sentra was taken from right outside his home, his wheelchair mount and footrest went with it.

The car is still gone, but a Coral Springs businessman – who wishes to remain anonymous – made a large donation after seeing NBC Miami’s story Tuesday night.

the businessman IMO make this an act of genuine altruism.

Had the gift been a car or van from a car dealer, it could have been interpreted as very clever access to free favorable advertising, more than paying for itself within days via extra sales to impressionable media consumers.
