NEW EGYPT, New Jersey (WPVI) A New Jersey couple proved that kindness is contagious. In August, Amanda and Kyle Nilsen checked on a neighbor in need, but now, the entire community is involved.
It all began when a tree left a hole in the roof of 82-year-old Joe Riccardo s home in New Egypt, Ocean County.
The Nilsen s had no idea anyone was even living there.
When Kyle went to check on the place, he met Riccardo, a military veteran, and a life-long friendship was born.
Kyle noticed that in addition to the roof repairs, Riccardo needed other essentials like a new furnace.
