This is My Unsung Hero.

Stories where one person reached out to help another in a time of need.

Hello, My Unsung Hero story is from a doctor I heard over 30 years ago.

It's not that I'm a hero because he rarely got any recognition for his huge heart and

his unselfish action.

As you mean the world to me and I can't thank you enough.

Today's story comes from Justin Horner.

In 2011, Justin was driving down a busy freeway in Portland, Oregon when his tire blew

up.

He had a spare but he needed a jack.

So he made some big signs that said he needed help.

Put them in his car window and waited on the side of the road.

For three hours, no one stopped.

Then right around the time he was about to give up and try to hitchhike, a van pulled

up.

And outbounded, I guess what I would call my Unsung Heroes.

It was a migrant working family, agricultural family that was in Oregon picking fruit.

And they didn't speak any English, say for their youngest daughter, who was probably

like five or six, she spoke a bit of English and they just immediately said about helping.

They came over, he unloaded his jack and it was pretty obvious from the get go that the

jack was going to be too small but the man was just like undeterred.
