Woman Without Heat Posts To Facebook, Receives Random Act of Kindness

AMES, Iowa For an Ames woman 2015 is a lot warmer than 2014.

For the past two months, Sheli Dougherty was warming her house with an oven and space heater after her old furnace quit working.

I was like oh Im okay. I was like the oven is doing great. I`ll put on another sweatshirt. Everything is fine,Dougherty said.

Dougherty was able to buy a furnace on E-bay but couldnt afford to have it installed.

But leave it up to social media to lend a hand. Word got around on Facebook and within hours heating and cooling technician, Brett Linder, offered his services for free.

If we can make someones holiday a little brighter and they dont have to use their oven to heat their house anymore, that`s the bottom line, Linder said.

Linders company, Ames Heating and Cooling has donated furnaces in the past but it was especially nice to finish the year with a random act of kindness.

The cost to install a furnace would cost close to $1,000.
