Today, the Awesome is in Colorado. On Christmas Day, an anonymous donor surprised staff and visitors at Wheat Ridge Animal Hospital in Colorado by offering to cover emergency room exam fees for pets brought in that day. The man arrived about 8 a.m. and told employees he planned to stay for a couple of hours and pay the emergency exam fees for anyone who came through the doors. During his time at the hospital, the man covered fees for at least 10 pet owners and even left additional envelopes of money behind so others who arrived later could receive the same help. Some recipients were so moved that they offered to let the next person use the money instead, while others were brought to tears, unsure how they would have afforded care for their pets without it. Before leaving, the anonymous donor also contributed $400 to the hospital’s charity fund to help future patients. Special gifts and Christmas kindness from a stranger, THAT’S AWESOME.
