這張為91歲奶奶修理鍋爐的水管工發(fā)票在網(wǎng)上瘋傳
Not every hero wears capes, apparently, some of them come dressed in a plumber’s clothes. Recently, a plumber from Burnley, Lancashire named James Anderson gained well-deserved recognition for his heroic deed. After one of his clients’ daughter shared an invoice she received, the man went viral for waiving the fee of a 91-year-old woman who is suffering from terminal cancer.
顯然,并不是所有的英雄都披斗篷,有些英雄來的時候穿著水管工的衣服。最近,蘭開夏郡伯恩利的一位名叫詹姆斯·安德森的水管工因為他的英勇行為獲得了應(yīng)得的認(rèn)可。在他的一位客戶的女兒分享了她收到的一張發(fā)票后,這名男子因免除一名91歲晚期癌癥患者的費用而走紅。
Anderson, the 52-year-old father of 5 and grandfather of 3, was called to fix Christine Anne Rowlands’ mother’s boiler. After the work was done, the woman asked how much she was supposed to pay and was promised an invoice. Once it was emailed to her, Rowlands was taken aback by the total of the invoice which was £0.
現(xiàn)年52歲的安德森是5個孩子的父親,3個孩子的祖父。工作結(jié)束后,這位女士問她應(yīng)該付多少錢,并得到了一張發(fā)票。當(dāng)這封信通過電子郵件發(fā)給她的時候,羅蘭茲被這張總額為0英鎊的發(fā)票嚇了一跳。
The reason behind Anderson’s kindness was that Rowlands’ mother is suffering from terminal cancer, so instead of billing the family £480, the plumber waived the fee.
安德森這么做的原因是羅蘭茲的母親患了晚期癌癥,所以這位管道工沒有給她的家人開出480英鎊的賬單,而是免除了這筆費用。
The kind act is not an isolated event, in fact, it is part of a greater initiative.
善良的行為不是孤立的事件,事實上,它是一個更大的倡議的一部分。
In 2017, Anderson established a non-profit called Depher CIC whose purpose is to carry out free plumbing services to those people who are often left forgotten – seniors and disabled customers.
2017年,安德森成立了一家名為Depher CIC的非盈利機構(gòu),旨在為那些經(jīng)常被遺忘的人——老年人和殘疾人——提供免費的管道服務(wù)。
Since the initiative was brought to life, it has helped over 2,000 people in need.
自該倡議實施以來,已經(jīng)幫助了2000多名需要幫助的人。
