Great story and great job.

That is a fantastic story and that young man is lucky to have someone like you to help him out.
Well done, SAS. The young fella sounds like a nice, responsible kid.
Great stuff!

Great story and good on you! I'm always inclined to help out people, especially kids, like that.

I peruse this site multiple times a day. There's always some good information or otherwise entertaining stuff. Sometimes not. Can't believe I missed this till now. Great story and kudos to you! May the hunting and fishing gods shine on you.

SAS you helped form a good man for the future. He learned about charity given freely with joy (he'll figure out what you did), self reliance, and how to follow his passion. Thank you for sharing this story. I honestly believe the young man will pay it forward.

Well done, best set aside a couple 30-30's, I have a feeling you're going to need them.

Hey shortaction. Thank you. That's at least 3 lives you helped make better. And who knows; God's ultimate target might not even live before we're gone.
