Our trip to tornado ravaged Harrisburg, IL went smoothly until we hit Mattoon, IL. That's when things got interesting or, should I say, rather disheartening. Our 26' truck loaded with furniture broke down. I'm not talking a short span of time; rather, it was a good full seven hours before we got a replacement truck.
Not to worry though as our good friend from Harrisburg, Charlie Will, set out to help us.
Yes, the Harrisburg folks, still reeling from the devastation of the storms, were helping us get furniture to their small town. Maybe this says it all about the citizens of this small Illinois city. Here they are in the midst of dealing with so many tragedies, on so many levels, yet they are assisting us.
This wonderful gesture, on Charlie's part, is about all one needs to know when it comes to recognizing why our charity was, and is, so eager to help these people. As I said, 'nothing comes easy' but in this case, when faced with an all night truck delivery, Harrisburg came through in a big way!!
Thanks,
Dick
