Your Everyday Hero: Shawn H.

Shawn, a veteran, is an older man who has had a very hard life and struggles financially but has the spirit of Christmas all year long. He helps every person from fixing kids bikes to tearing out tree stumps for strangers. He feeds all the stray cats everywhere. He never says no to anyone and yet he needs help himself. His roof needs help, his home needs help, and he won't accept any help. He fixes peoples cars, he even fixes the kitchen sink. He has helped our family so many times over the years. He wants nothing and expects nothing in return. We have tried to pay him and he won't accept anything. I love this man, he is Santa to me.
