COLUMBIA- An anonymous donor recently gave a Columbia teen and his family a $500 donation upon hearing of his snow shoveling last week.
13-year-old Pablo Grimaldo and his father Serapio recently received the donation after helping out neighbors by shoveling snow off their driveways and sidewalks. The donor says the gift came with no strings attached, and the family can use it how they please. I was happy about it, Pablo said. We didn t know this was gonna happen. We wanted to buy a lawnmower. so we re gonna by a lawnmower with the money.
Serapio said he is also very surprised to receive the donation.
A 13-year-old boy posted his snow shoveling services on Facebook to help his family with the bills while the weather keeps his dad from doing construction jobs.
