After mowing for 12 hours, what's one more lawn?

James Johnston was on his way home after mowing lawns for twelve hours. He spotted an older man mowing a large lawn with a push mower. Johnston turned his truck around and offered to help the stranger. Of course, the man agreed, and sat resting his head on his wife's shoulder.

With his professional-sized equipment, Johnston finished the lawn in 15 minutes. He waved to the couple to indicate he was finished, but was stopped by the man's wife. She thanked Johnston profusely for the help. It seems their riding mower had broken down weeks ago, and they didn't have the money to fix it. Her husband had been using the push mower ever since.

Johnston couldn't stop thinking about the elderly couple's situation. He started a GoFundMe page with a goal of $1000 to buy them a riding lawnmower. As of this writing, over $3000 has been raised.
