I happened to look over and saw a Sheriff pumping gas, so I walked over and politely asked if he could help me. I was alone and 4 hours from home. He looked at me and kind of brushed me off, like he had more important things to do.
Then, a man named Klennis overheard and saw that the officer wasn’t interested in helping. He came up to me and said, “Come on, I’ll help you.” Klennis knew the tire was no good anymore. I thought I had a spare in the trunk, but sadly, I didn’t. It’s a long story, but Klennis went to Walmart, got a new tire, and managed to get the old tire off the rim and replace it with the new one. Klennis’s son and another young man helped too.
I truly believe God was watching over me during this delay.
Angels really do come in all shapes and sizes. Klennis worked for 2 hours straight to help me get back on the road. He told me he has a 21-year-old daughter and would want someone to help her if she were in my situation. I feel so blessed to have made it home safely.
Klennis Anders, if you ever run into him, please tell him how wonderful he is! My family is so grateful for his kindness and selflessness.
