Dad and Twin Sons Donate 80 Trucks’ Worth of Firewood to Those in Need
Sometimes, we come across stories that warm our hearts and remind us of the goodness in the world. It’s those acts of kindness and selflessness that make a real difference and leave a lasting impact. One such story is about Shane McDaniel and his twin sons, Henry and Harrison, who went above and beyond to help those in need.
Shane, who had spent his childhood harvesting firewood with his father, wanted to continue the tradition with his own sons. When a heavy storm hit their town of Lake Stevens, Washington, they saw an opportunity to not only clear the fallen trees but also make a difference in their community.
“We had a lot of wood due to storm damage and fallen trees. It just kept piling up, and we decided we could do something better with it,” Shane explained. With that in mind, they embarked on a mission to donate the firewood.
The Pacific Northwest, where they live, is known for its harsh weather conditions. Shane quickly realized the need for firewood and saw how he could help. Instead of selling it, they decided to give it away to those who needed it the most.
Their project ran from March to October 2018, during which time Shane, Henry, and Harrison chopped enough firewood to fill a staggering 80 trucks. To spread the word, Shane took to Facebook and was overwhelmed by the response. People were not only amazed by the family’s generosity, but many also volunteered to help distribute the firewood to those who couldn’t pick it up themselves.
The impact of their act of kindness was visible in the faces of those they helped. “You can just see this feeling of pride and sharing that I don’t think they had before,” Shane said. “When you do good things for people, they don’t forget. I love helping people.”
This heartwarming story is a testament to the power of compassion and generosity. Shane, Henry, and Harrison have not only made a difference in their community but have also inspired others to lend a helping hand. They remind us that even a small act can have a significant impact on someone’s life.
