Kindness Of Strangers: Man Gives Trade-In Car To Nursing Student

After overhearing the woman's rejection at an El Cajon dealership, he signed over his vehicle to her at no charge.

EL CAJON, CA – If you need your faith in humanity restored, this story should help.

A man recently trading in his Toyota Scion for a BMW at an El Cajon car dealership saw another customer, a woman, who works two jobs as she puts herself through nursing school, being denied financing as she was short a vehicle down-payment, according a news report.

A car was a necessity to the woman as she needed it to get to work, 10 News reported, and after the turndown, she left the dealership in tears. The man then stepped in, and rather then trading in his car, he signed it over --at no charge --to the hard-working student, a complete stranger.
