I'm sorry this happened to you Jillian. You are a genuine sweetie at heart. Karma will come around darlin' and treat you well.
We had a similar situation here the other day and the kids and I luckily had the good side of it... We ran out of gas by a business and had enough momentum to pull into the parking lot. It was about 5 so people were leaving to go home and I asked a couple of them if they wouldn't mind driving the kids and I 2 miles down the road to get gas. After a couple of No's I was told yes by a young man. He seemed worried but was about my size and he opened the doors while I got the kids from the car. We chatted while headed there and he waited while I filled my spare gallon can and he even took us back even though I mentioned we could walk or get another ride. He didn't ask a thing of us and just smiled at our many thank you's. Later the next day I said a big thank you in our towns facebook Buy/sell/trade to both him and the business he works for. I still am trying to decide how else I could thank his kindness but for now I hope he has good luck.
This day in age its scary to help anyone due to news... you just like the young man who helped us have proven your kind heart once again and I hope you don't let this bad man scare you into a corner as I have allowed to be done to me with relationships (different topic)... because your kindness may sometime help someone who truly needs it as we did.
