This Old Man Is Selling Wood Every Day To Pay For Wife’s Medical Bills
When Jessica Pittman was driving through her hometown of Gulfport, Mississippi, last year, she couldn’t help but notice an elderly man standing next to his parked car by the side of the road.
Curious, Jessica pulled up beside the man, who seemed to be selling something.
The man introduced himself as Kenneth Smith, and he was there with his wife, Helen.
Together, they were selling kindling wood to pay for Helen’s hospital bills.
A few years ago, Helen was diagnosed with lung cancer. The couple couldn’t afford to pay for all of her expensive medications and doctor visits, so Kenneth started cutting up a rotten tree, putting the wood in bags, and selling it as kindling.
