Lakewood Mother Finds Gratitude as Stranger Steps in to Help
Jenny Pearson and her daughter experienced a terrifying moment while driving to camp when a car ahead suddenly swerved, hitting a tire tread that flew into their windshield. Despite the shock, they managed to exit safely. Fortuitously, Caleb Smalling, the owner of Big Boys Auto Glass in Canton, happened to be passing by and noticed their distress.
As he got concerned, he stopped to check on them, while he realised they were in need of assistance. Smalling, accompanied by his family, had the exact windshield that Pearson needed. They quickly retrieved it from their nearby home, along with refreshments and first aid supplies, offering their support selflessly.
To their surprise, when Pearson inquired about payment methods, Smalling declined any form of compensation, stating that he had found clarity and inspiration while working on her car and conversing with a higher power.
Smalling strongly believed that fate had guided him to aid Pearson and her daughter. Together, they removed the shattered glass from the vehicle, restoring Pearson’s faith in humanity as she continued her journey with a new windshield and a renewed perspective.
Pearson hopes this incident will remind people that acts of kindness are still prevalent, even in our fast-paced world. She also highlights that Smalling’s compassionate service extends beyond Canton, as he readily provides assistance to the DFW area.
