>> We had a young guy come up in driveway asking if he could do some work to earn some money. My husband started to be rude but I asked what the money was for he said his dog needed surgery I might trust people too much but I would rather a kid ask to do some work for money than steal or be a punk around here. I took him to get his mower. We talked a bit asked him where he was from how old he was ? 17 from Baton Rouge. He called his mom on my phone. He came back mowed the yard. He was a very respectful kid. I called his mom saying my husband was bringing him home. I hope if kids come up ask if there is any work for them others will help him out. His name is TJ. I hate feeling like the world is all bad & we can't trust others.
@pickles: awwww what a cool story. What neighbor hood?
@Jpgurl:
He lives in Sherwood trails. My husband just came back from dropping him off. He is 17 his mom moved here to get him away from gangs in BR. They talked a bit. He starts high school back next yr. His dog does need surgery so my husband feels better we helped & told him to come back if he can in 2-3 weeks. We don't have a lot of money but we do have it better than a lot of others.
@pickles: see if you can find out the dog's name and the vet- if you don't mind. I had a donation for a homeless pup that needed surgery. He got picked up by a rescue who covered the surgery.- I know rescues can always use the $$ but I'll donate what I was going to give to the vet towards the cost of this dog.
I love that he is motivated enough to work to save money for his dog
@Jpgurl:
I can donate too. Please give me info when you get it . I can make a donation to vet.
@sweetie:
I texted his mom to see what vet it is. He told me about $800. So I sent her a text that if we knew what vet it is we could try to help out. Especially since he was trying to work hard getting the money. Thanks again.
