Really, this is one of those stories that just make you believe in the goodness of people once again.

Roanna Holden of Ryerson Hardwood Floors in Southeast Portland, befriended a man found sleeping in the doorway of the business. Joe Riley was a flooring laborer who had relocated to Oregon from Florida in hopes of starting a new life for him and his son. Seems what should have been a routine move turned into a nightmare for Riley. A series of mishaps led to his running out of money and options and having to drift from doorway to doorway, lonely, broke and desperate.

Instead of calling the cops or turning Riley away, Holden and the rest of Ryerson took it upon themselves to help Riley get back on his feet. They ended up finding him work back in Florida, buying him a bus ticket to get there and putting him up in a warm motel room until his departure. And for what? Nothing. The folks at Ryerson were just doing what they felt was right. They just wanted to help get Riley's humanity back. Amazing.
