This really makes you wonder about mankind. There is a fellow out here that lives in Lolo in an old trailer house. He is mentally challenged, but everyone here knows him and takes care of him and his needs, and sort of watches out for him. His one passion is cutting firewood.........loves chainsaws and everyone who has one, has had "Charlie" fix it for them........and he has this old trailer that he sets up in a shopping center parking lot and keeps it filled with firewood for people to buy.


He has a coffee can on the hitch that people can put money in to pay for whatever they may help themselves to. Most folks here take a log or two and put in 5 bucks or so. He comes by everyday, on his bicycle, and collects the money, and has a friend who has a truck help him refill the trailer with wood.

The other day he comes by and his trailer is empty of wood, and so is the coffee can empty of money. Word gets out that Charlie is in need and lo and behold his trailer is filled with firewood, and he opens the coffee can to find $3,000 in it.

I'm not sure who all helped out, but I know my chainsaw needs a good cleaning. So does Mike's; Luke's; Sean's......................!

Hats off to those that came to his aid.. that is the type of attitude that seems lost on this country overall.

Gotta love those tight-knit communities.

You'd think that some things are nearly sacred. A little "business" like that would be one of them.

It takes a village. *duck*

Great story. It's really heartening to hear the community come to his aid.

That's awesome you all took care of him.

Blessed is he to live in a small town. The higher the population, the less people care about other people. That's just an observation I've had that generally holds true.

You'll see in small towns, folks take care of each other. In big cities, only a small minority give a damn about their fellow man.

Stuff like this makes me want to live in Lolo. The thing is, $10 says the a-hole who stole the $ from the can was an outsider.

The Monsignor references the case of Kitty Genovese, a famous example of the bystander effect (1:10):

Enjoyed that movie Nonstop. Now I get the reference.

Yes, evil happens, because good people are often indifferent to it. Good speech.

Something like that is very uplifting! There ARE good people out there. It's unfortunate that this kind of story is not the norm, as it SHOULD be.

Look how so many of you rallied around me when i went through my surgery last year. I don't think you know how much that meant (and STILL means) to me! Every time i use my Wii, i think of how generous and loving the people were on this site.
So i have first hand accounts that there are wonderful, caring people still in this world! And am proud to call you my friends!!!
