Today started off very heartwarming. I received a call from a dispatcher requesting a unique favor…
The man pictured below is Phillip. Phillip lives alone and lately has been very lonely and sad. After speaking with Dispatcher Morse this morning, Dispatcher Morse thought of a great idea to bring a smile to Phillip’s face. Dispatcher Morse called me with the idea of bringing a coffee and muffin to Phillip.
This is where the story gets better.
As I arrived at Dunkin Donuts in Tilton to purchase a muffin and coffee I was met by a man named Phil Bonafide. Phil offered to buy me a coffee but I explained to him I was not there for me, but rather buying a coffee and muffin for an elderly man to bring a smile to his face. Phil still offered to purchase these items and did, going out of his way to help someone he’s never met.
I took these items to Phillip, the one pictured below, and it brought him to tears that someone went out of their way to do this for him. I explained to Phillip that it was not all my idea, I was simply the one who was able to deliver him the items.
I was able to spend a few minutes talking to Phillip as he ate his muffin (he doesn’t drink coffee) and I learned his favorite sport is Golf and that he is very proud of his family.
You could tell something as small as a muffin made his day and when I left Phillip asked for a hug. This absolutely melted me.
Thank you to Dispatcher Morse and Phil Bonafide for helping me make this man smile!!
