May 14th I posted THIS. I saw the article on Reddit and wanted to add the update on this remarkable man.
New Playground
Reddit brought in about $11,000 in donations from all over the world in 12 hours once the story hit front page in May. From my understanding, GameTime matched donations for the playground. There have been countless volunteers and donations of services/goods from millings, to lime for the track, trucking, landscaping, mowing, etc. to make this park possible.
Thanks for the update Linda. I'm sure Mrs. Troutman would be very proud.
ReplyDeleteIt's so nice to see people helping each other
DeleteThat's fantastic......I hope lots of kids, and kids at heart, have lots of fun playing there....and the few bad seeds that destroy just for the fun of it stay away.
ReplyDeleteThat poor guy is working his fingers to the bone after all that walking! But he looks mighty happy doing it.
Glad to shared the update Linda....a wonderful story with a very happy ending.
I loved it when he told everyone to be there by 7! Then he spent the night so no one would mess up the cement- good for him.
DeleteWonderful update and story. Yes the kids will be happy. So sad that we have deadbeats that will try to distroy.
ReplyDeleteNice place for parents to bring their kids
