In His Sermon on the Mount, Jesus warns against helping others for attention when He said “Don’t let your left hand know what your right hand is doing.” I don’t think Hody Childress’ hands ever met.

Hody was a farmer in Alabama. He passed away on New Year’s Day, and obviously his family is still grieving – but as more people found out in the days to come, they began grieving the loss as well.

In 2012, Hody went in to get a prescription at the pharmacy. That’s when he found out there were a lot of people who couldn’t afford to pay for theirs - so Hody started paying. $100 here. $200 there. Every month - For the last 10 years - And he’d always say the same thing - “Use this for anyone who can’t afford their prescription – and don’t tell anyone. This is a blessing from God.”

Now, after finding out what he had been doing, several others in the town are now seeing to it that this act of kindness keeps going – so they’re ponying up the cash to help their neighbors.  Read more of Hody’s generosity HERE.
