My husband and I were traveling to Oregon a few years ago and pulled over into a very very remote rest stop to use the facilities (I was eight months pregnant at the time and had a three-year old).

An elderly couple was nearby in a motorhome that they couldn’t get started and there was no cell phone service in that area. I watched as the man struggled with the ignition and fussed around under the hood.

When my husband came out of the restroom, he ran right over and looked over their engine to see if he could spot what was wrong — nothing. We wanted to take them to the nearest town but they refused to leave their motorhome. Finally, my husband got out the jumper cables, hooked them up to our car and their engine started right up. We followed them for a long way to the nearest town so they could get help.

I shudder to think what might have happened to them in such a remote area and I hope someone would be as kind to us if we were in that situation.

Believe me, that elderly couple was grateful.
