Karma had a couple of surprises for Gwynn, good surprises that he truly deserves. After a local man saw his actions on the news, he decided to gift the 18-year-old a car.

27-year-old, Matt Block, gifted Gwynn his prized 2004 red Mustang convertible

As fate would have it, this car held a sentimental value to Gwynn that Block had no idea about. Gwynn’s mother drove a convertible red Mustang, she passed away in 2018 so the fact that this was the car he was gifted left him speechless.

When a local insurance agency owner, Bob Briceland, saw the gift Gwynn received he offered a year of free insurance to the high school senior. Now with a new car and a year’s worth of insurance, the young man was elated but this wasn’t even the big gift karma had in store.
