There are good people in the world. Some of them are singers who donate money for research on the COVID-19 vaccine. Some are Twitter queens, always good for perfect sarcasm or real conversation vulnerability. And some people see a person in need and immediately help, without asking questions.
This story is about the latter.
For five nights last week, Chelsea Timmons stayed with Nina Richardson and Doug Condon in Texas while the region was hit hard by a once-in-a-lifetime winter storm. People reports.
In a Facebook post on Thursday, Timmons explained that he was on the last grocery delivery of the day when the scene unfolded last Sunday. Her original strategy was to go to the supermarket in the morning and return home around noon before the blizzard fell, so she could “taste some wine, eat some Valentine’s Day chocolate and wait for this storm to pass”
Timmons, who lives three hours away in Houston, regularly drives to Austin to deliver because the salary is better than in his hometown. (Quick shout out to all the Chelsea Timmons in the world who drive three hours to deliver food to someone who probably lives 15 minutes from the supermarket.)
This Twitter user explains it perfectly.
I appreciate the kindness and generosity of the family.
But that line upset me:
“Timmons, who lives three hours away in Houston, said he makes weekly trips to Austin because the delivery market there pays a little more.”

Then. Back to Chelsea Timmons and the winter storm.
During deliveries, road conditions worsened, and Timmons said it took over an hour to pick up and deliver groceries to Richardson and Condon.
When she finally arrived at their property, she noticed that the house was located lower than the main road, which meant that the driveway was on a hillside. Although Timmons said she drove “very carefully” on the ramp, the ice-covered driveway made her lose control of the vehicle and hit the couple’s tree.
“Fortunately, I didn’t have enough momentum to cause damage,” she noted in the post. “I was safe, the car was not damaged, their property was safe … but that tree was lost!”
Timmons recalled that she quickly told the couple about the problem while bringing shopping, that she was unable to get back on the road.
The couple, who are vaccinated against COVID-19, suggested that she wait inside her home until a squeak arrived. But after several hours of waiting, the towing company notified Timmons that its website was “inaccessible due to current conditions”.
Good people are still out there.
Austin homeowners Doug Condon and Nina Richardson offer food delivery driver Chelsea Timmons a spare room for 5 days after their SUV enters their backyard. Due to the storm, AAA was unable to provide immediate assistance.

Uber, Lyft and taxis were also not a possibility for the same reasons, said Timmons.
“The options narrowed and eventually the couple offered me their guest room for the night!” she wrote in the post. “These people let a complete stranger spend the night! Not only that, but I prepared a STEAK DINNER! Definitely not how I imagined my Valentine’s Day! “
Over the next few days, Timmons said she had a relationship with Richardson and Condon – who fortunately still had electricity, water and food in their home – as well as a relationship with the couple’s dogs.
“How INCREDIBLY BLESSED am I at this moment ?!” Timmons continued. “Blessed were they willing to let the ‘delivery driver’ enter his home in the middle of a pandemic. Blessed because during the time of food shortages, they were willing to share their meals. “
“Every morning, when I suggested going to a hotel, [they say], ‘Could you get there safely? What would you eat? What if they lose energy? Isn’t the guest room better than the Hampton Inn? ‘”, She wrote in the post. “They basically refused to let me out. Every morning, after saying: ‘Don’t worry, stay a little longer’, I go to ‘my’ room and shed tears of joy ”.
After Timmons returned home safely on Friday, she said she couldn’t help thinking that Condon and Richardson were her “guardian angels”.
People are amazed by the sweet story.
“God really anchored me during this storm and sent me incredible Guardian Angels,” she wrote on Facebook. “I can’t believe everything that happened. Besides being grateful to have been able [to] find comfort with strangers during this unprecedented winter storm. “
To see? Over there we are good people in the world.
