I've been blessed to directly help many in need, but of course, never unwittingly for one as famous as international star Keith Urban.
I once helped a beautiful Spanish Actress, famous in the Latin world, by doing some research on her late famous Cannes Film Festival award-winning Director father, and finding something incredible that helped her immensely. She flew from Madrid, and I from Seattle, met in Manhattan and became very close friends.
But I knew she was from a famous background, so it wasn't the same as what Ruth Reed did for Keith.
The problem with wanting to help people in need is, as Donald Trump says, "There's too many of them", this from him who has helped hundreds and hundreds, from anonymously paying off a mortgage, to freeing a veteran from a Mexican jail, Donald said his one fault is his "heart is too big", and "I can't help them all"; but this story about Ruth Reed should remind us all of the goodness of the American People, even those from humble backgrounds.
This post reads like a 100 word paper stretched into a 500 word assignment.
I wouldn’t know him if I ran into him but I’ve heard of him just haven’t listened to his music
I had a sorta similar experience many years ago in Beverly Hills... in a small Greek import shop on Little Wilshire, an elderly man was having trouble paying with a check (back when people actually paid with checks at retail stores). He had no ID with him and wanted to make a purchase before flying home to the UK in the morning. The young Greek girl at the register had no idea who he was, but duh, it was Sir Lawrence Olivier. I was able to “vouch” for him, and she took his check. Not surprising to run into a celebrity in Beverly Hills, though.
What a wonderful story! Thanks for posting, and Happy New Year, Hostage.
I like Keith Urban......he seems down to earth. Wonderful lady too.....bless her Dear Lord......;)
It’s a nice story. But it not extraordinary. I saw it happen in a grocery store yesterday.
My point isn’t to be a jerk. My point is that we underestimate our neighbors. People are so programmed by negativity in the media and social media we “expect” people to not be kind. I believe that is wrong.
People, generally, are very kind and will help someone out when they need a hand.
