Gloria Scott decided it was time to call an electrician in early August after she turned on a light switch in her kitchen and suddenly a flash of light flew overhead.Obviously,the lights need repairing.
Electrician John Kinney fixed the problem and got her lights working again.But when he returned to his own home that weekend,he couldn't stop thinking about Scott,72,living with her dog in her shabby house in Woburn,Mass.
"She reminded me of my grandma,who passed away 10 years ago," said Kinney,37,who runs Kinney Electric. "Her wiring was in bad shape and I really worried about her safety".
The following Monday,Kinney returned to Scott's home with an extra offer.While organizing things inside her house,he noticed that she had no hot water coming out of her faucets(水龍頭).He also discovered that her kitchen sink was broken and the ceilings were full of holes…
It was then that Kinney decided to start a Facebook page called "A Nice Old Lady Needs Help" and raise funds to do all of the repairs.To his surprise,it went viral.In less than a month,nearly $115,000 was raised and the campaign now has a new name:"Gloria's Gladiators."
"We were hoping to inspire others and that's exactly what is happening," said Kinney,noting that the Gloria's Gladiators group now has more than 15,000 members -many of whom were inspired by Scott's story to begin doing free repairs in their own neighborhoods.
Scott felt so thankful for Kinney and other volunteer's help that she was speechless.
Kinney said he's thankful for the opportunity was to repair Scott's home,and there is something else that has also brought him joy.
"We've opened up Gloria's world," he said. "Now,I hope we can do the same for all of the other Glorias out there.Nobody should have to go through life alone."

3.Dear Laura,
Thanks for letting us to stay at your seaside house. Now, you might have heard from your neighbors about which happened on Saturday evening. When I was out a walk, my younger son, Tom, played football before your house. He made so many noise that the neighbors got quite angrily. Even worse, Tom broke one of the window of Mr. Wilson's house. Tom and I apologized to all the neighbors for the unhappy happenings, but promised to have the broken window repair soon. Tom said that we would not do such silly things any more. I am glad that your neighbors had forgiven us. They are really nice people.
Yours,
