Nurses are on the front line of this horrible pandemic, so they need all the help they can’t get while they fight this beast. Which exactly why one man decided to spend his savings on them, he stood outside of a gas station with a sign that reads “Free Gas For Nurses” and paid for them to fuel up.
This guy is so incredible!
Allen Marshall from Detriot, Michigan, is a compassionate individual who decided to do what he could to help the nurses in his area
Marshall had been saving his money to buy a knife sharpening kit, but when COVID-19 struck he decided to do something for the hospital workers on the front lines instead.
Standing on the corner at a gas station in Detroit, with a sign that read “Free Gas For Nurses,” the kind-hearted man spent $900 filling up 50-80 vehicles of hospital employees.
“I just love them and I want them to know that,” Marshall told WDIV 4.
Even after he ran out of money, he made another sign and stood their thanking them for all they do
He wasn’t ready to stop sending an inspiring message when he ran out of money, so he made a sign reading “Thank You For All You Do” and stood on the corner.
Another citizen by the name of Alana was so inspired by Marshall’s actions that she decided to also contribute $200 to fill up more gas tanks. Together the two people spend a total of $1100 helping nurses, doctors, and other hospital workers get free gas.
“My nephew is a nurse at Beaumont and it kills me every day to know that he is going to work. I don’t know if he’s gonna get sick or what’s gonna happen. They’re just, they’re heroes and we need to do what we can.” Said Alana, she went on to say: “I was so inspired I had to come down here and help, so whether it was money, or pumping gas, or whatever I needed I wanted to give back. These nurses are putting their lives on the line every day for us.
His generous deed landed him on the news, where they showed him on the corner at Exxon with his sign
Marshall was back on the corner with Alana’s $200 dollars while she worked the pumps for the nurses stopping. One nurse from Henry Ford Hospital stopped and got gas saying:
“oh my goodness, that’s so nice of him. That’s so good, god bless him.” Another citizen added: “I think it’s beautiful right now man, I think this is the greatest thing they can do for these nurses, these nurses is all we got man.”
They’re not the only people helping nurses with gas, one gas station decided to give free gas to all first responders and health care workers
Two brothers’ who own Harry’s Foodmart in Boston, decided to give first responders and medical workers free gas up to $50 for a whole day. The idea came from their kids, who both had birthdays coming up and told them that’s what they wanted for their big day.
This is so touching, to see these people going out of their way to help the people on the front lines is beyond remarkable. Click this link to see the Boston gas station. To see the awesome people in Detroit give free gas to nurses,’ watch the video below!
