Stranger Gives Home to Family Whose House Burned

http://abclocal.go.com/ktrk/story?section=news/national_world&id=9422926

snip-

CNN reports that Lori Rippy and Vaughan Lutton watched their home burn to the ground. They had four children, no insurance and no savings. They were official homeless.

But a good Samaritan named George stepped forward and came to their rescue, offering a solution no one expected.

George is donating his house.

Lutton told George he is now a brother, and he always has a home right there

I'm sure God will reward him for his unselfishness (or whichever deity you worship).

It's an amazing story of selflessness. I like how his employer got involved and gave him all the credit. You don't hear that too often.
