Back in 2015 my boyfriend had gone through major vascular surgery and was in ICU for 5 days. I drove over 60 miles back and forth to be by his side. I listened to your station every day and it helped me stay grounded through these difficult times. I brought Tim home from the hospital and had to drive to the store for him and on my way ended up with a flat tire in the middle of nowhere. My insurance company couldn’t find where I was to tell the tow company. I sat there crying to God as Tim was suffering at home in pain. I didn’t know what to do. As I was sitting there a man had pulled up behind me to see if I needed help. I told him about my boyfriend just going through major surgery and that I had to drive back and forth to UW every day and I didn’t have time to get new tires. He thankfully helped me change out my flat tire. I asked him how much I owed him. He said to keep the money and put it towards new tires. I of course started to cry and told him that he was my angel in disguise.
