WAYNEDALE’S GOOD SAMARITAN

June 23, 2017 The Waynedale News Staff 0 min read

My name is Jonathan Morales and my father asked that I help him write a “Thank You” for the person who helped him in his time of need.

Approximately a month ago my parents stopped at McDonalds on Bluffton Road for lunch and on their way back home their truck got a flat tire. They pulled into the parking lot of 1st Source Bank to leave the vehicle temporarily.

Upon his return he noticed a spare tire including rim next to his truck.

The surprising part is that it fit his truck perfectly! Someone had gone out of their way to leave a spare rim and tire for him.

My father would like to thank the Good Samaritan for their help. It meant a lot!
