Best Birthday Ever: You should have seen the look on his face 'COLUMBIA, WHERE GREAT PEOPLE STILL EXIST' - When her son, Jimmy George, begged for a bike for his birthday, Jean George was determined to find one, even though finances for the nine-member family - seven children, mother and father - would be stretched to buy any bike. She did not even hint that she expected even a used bike as a gift - only to find where she could buy a used bike she could afford. She never expected the response. But five people called before noon, Sunday morning to pledge offers to buy a new bike and a sixth called wanting to chip in. All they asked was to remain anonymous. The offer, from Campbell County, TN, fulfilled his pledge. The second offerer, from Columbia, bought the helmet - though he, too, would have gotten the bike for the child's birthday. Click on headline to read her gracious letter of thanks to all By Jean George I wanted to write and thank you all from the bottom of our hearts for all the help getting our little boy his bike. He was so happy when he saw it and rode it the whole time we were at the fairgrounds. He said this was his best birthday ever. I wish you all could've seen the look on his little face. I am so proud to call Columbia my home, where great people still exist. I want to thank, personally, the two individuals who got him his bike and helmet (and the others who offered to buy the bike). You don't know what happiness you caused yesterday; you not only made his day, but you made my husband's and mine as well. You guys are awesome, we appreciate everything you all did. Thanks, ColumbiaMagazine.com, for posting it and helping to arrange it and thanks to all who called or texted wanting to help. Thank you so very much for the generosity. - Jean George This story was posted on 2015-09-07 15:12:33
