Unlike most people who will think of everything they are losing when their house is burning down, this teenage wasn’t all wrapped up in what he and his family were losing.Instead, he as concerned with something else.
15-year-old Kenneth Bennett from Alabama was just returning home from a friend’s house when he found his home engulfed in flames and firefighters were doing their best to put it out. And while his mind was racing about the tremendous loss, he happened to look down and see the cooler for the firefighters which was almost empty. So Kenneth, at around 1 a.m., walked quickly over to a nearby convenience store and bought $40 worth of water and brought it back to the firefighters.
“I just saw the firefighters were down to their last couple of bottled waters and figured it was the least I could do for them putting out our house fire for us.”, says Kenneth.
But that $40 was all the money Kenneth had. The teen had been saving it up to take his girlfriend out on a nice date. When Kenneth’s mom, Casie, proudly posted about her son’s good deed, several people chipped in and raised enough money for Kenneth to get some new clothes and a limo ride for him and his girlfriend to Felix’s Fish Camp, where their meal was free.
