For over a year, an elderly man named Kenneth has made the corner off Carl Leggett and West Taylor Road in Gulfport, Mississippi his daily post. He’s a silent staple in the community who has gone unnoticed until one concerned woman stopped when she realized what he had been quietly doing there every day for all this time.

Jessica Pitman passes by this street corner in her small town as part of her daily route, and like others in the area, she has seen 80-year-old Kenneth there, not causing any harm but looking a little out of place. As everyone goes about their business, he goes about his purpose, which passersby missed in their hurry until Jessica snapped a photo of what she saw and brought attention to it on social media.

Kenneth sells small bundles of kindling wood for $5 and waits all day for people to buy them. Regardless of how few and far between sales are, he’s still there, rain or shine, and has been for over a year. Nobody bothered to stop and ask him why he was so dedicated to this simple cause and spends his time this way, until Jessica noticed what was different this year on his street corner, from the year prior when he was selling wood in the same spot.

According to Jessica’s post on Love What Matters, Kenneth used to sell wood with his wife Helen, who she hasn’t seen for the last few weeks. Curious about why he was doing the kindling wood sales alone, she stopped to ask about the concerning situation. As one of the only ones in town who bothered to talk to this man, Jessica learned that he had been selling the wood to pay for his wife’s cancer treatments, but she lost her fight a few weeks ago. He continues to sell the wood now after her death to pay for the medical bills which are still there, even though she is not.

A good man there is no doubt. Character is getting to be a rare commodity these days.
It's really too bad men like him get lost in the background. ps

Now I do not know MS law, but in MI if the patient dies, the bills die with them. The problem is the insurance co's and medical profession will keep sending bills and collecting money until someone points that out to them.

My M-I-L was getting hammered by medical bills until I told her to tell them my F-I-L had died. Funny how the calls stopped once they realized she knew her rights.

So if someone is near MS and can verify that the law is the same, please help this guy.
