An angel who can weld saved two stranded newcomers to the city

I never knew that angels know how to weld. 

On Thursday night my husband and I were in our box truck towing our camping trailer when we had a catastrophic failure. 

The frame of the box truck broke – the tail hitch and, therefore our trailer, were dragging along the road. 

A few minutes later a man stopped to ask us if we needed help. Having just returned to Canada from visiting the U.S., our phones didn’t work so we were thankful someone stopped so we could figure out what to do and who to call. 

Well, it ends up the man who stopped, named Don, is a welder and builds trailers. He says he not only can help but can fix our truck! He called his son, who shows up with straps to hold the back end together, they then towed our trailer back to their shop while we followed in the truck.

 By the early afternoon the next day we were fixed and back on the road. We owe Don and the guys at Mustang Trailers a huge thank you. They went above and beyond to save two strangers stranded on the side of the road. We have just moved to Lethbridge and Don is the first person we met. Needless to say, he will always have a special place in my heart. 

If this is what people are like in Lethbridge, I’m so happy to have made this city our home.
