They must be two of the nicest guys in the world...

The grandfather - working hard to pay off his house so that his daughter and grandchildren can live in it.

The college student - trying to help the grandfather.

Hmmmm....terminally ill taxi driver tries to raise money for family while still alive. I think I saw this episode. Does he make people play Russian roulette with poison with him by pointing a water pistol at them?

It’s Kenneth W. Broskey, not Borskey.

How very odd.

Even though young Roland Gainer is black, he could NEVER be mistaken for a "son of Obama"...

Sorry, I only copied and pasted from the youtube video.

I should’ve proofread first.

Very nice story. Here's the GoFundMe site The Ride Of His Life

As of two hours ago, they had surpassed their goal of $95,000 and have shut the site down. They want other good causes to be supported. They were able to raise this money in 4 days.

What wonderful men indeed.

Not so !! Happy because each is doing what they can to fulfill their destiny .
I understand, and have heard that no one gets out of this life alive.
The key is how we handle ourselves while we are here.
The joy is not just in arriving at our destination , ..but how we handle the journey and what we do along the way.

Obama’s son? Is there yet hope? Don’t want to be the passenger in the back seat when he succumbs.

Have no problem agreeing with you. My response was to “Still Thinking” and his/her reply.

“They must be two of the nicest guys in the world...

The college student - trying to help the grandfather.”

No doubt, over the weekend, we’ll find out that Hilarious is related to both of them.
