People are praising the man’s kindness, and it’s not always enough for organizations to step up and help. Often, support is needed from multiple sources in situations as catastrophic as this.

Some people have even said that there are people who would take advantage of destruction as bad as this by making access to basic amenities and goods harder for others. But this man’s generosity is proof that the world still consists of people who care.
