Two teens made fun of his house, saying that it should be burned to the ground... Check out some people's amazing response!
While walking in front of the house in poor condition, where an old man lived with neither the strength nor the means to maintain its exterior, two teenagers made fun of it, even suggesting that it should be burned down.
This disparaging remark was overheard by Josh Cyganik, who was a few feet away. The house they were talking about belongs to Leonard Bullock, 75, and is located in Pendleton, Oregon (in the Northwest U.S.), near a portion of railroad track that Josh was inspecting as part of his work for the Union Pacific Railroad.
Upon hearing their teasing, the man told himself that he couldn't just stand there and do nothing; so he decided to post a message on Facebook, inviting people to volunteer to repaint Leonard Bullock's house. The initiative didn't go unheeded, since nearly 100 people showed their desire to help out, from different states like Texas, Washington, and California.
An excellent show of solidarity...
