男子慷慨献爱心，修复救助中心屋顶

Stuart Weston is from Wiltshire, UK. Earlier this year, he changed many animals’ lives.

At that time, he sent his wife to the hospital. There, he met Genna, a trustee (受托人) of Coppershell Animal Rescue (救援组织). The rescue is a home for animals like goats, chickens, dogs, cows, and pigs in the small village of Gastard. Genna was telling hospital staff about the animals in her care. Despite her own pain, Genna was more worried about the rescue’s leaking roof. The rescue had been struggling to raise £20,000 for the roof repairs. She couldn’t afford to fix it.

Inspired by Genna’s words, Weston offered to help the shelter at no cost. He donated his time, materials, and expert knowledge, repairing the roof and saving the charity £15,000. His generous act didn’t stop at the repair — he has visited the shelter many times since, cementing a friendship with the team he expects to last “for a long time.” “I believe if you do something right for people, it’ll come back to you,” Weston said.

The rescue expressed their gratitude on social media. “Thanks to a chance meeting, we just saved the charity £15,000!” the shelter wrote. “Earlier this year, after an unexpected hospital visit, I crossed paths with a couple. As we got talking, I mentioned our charity’s work and our urgent need to replace the leaking roof. Their generosity has made a huge difference, and we’re beyond grateful.”
