Stephen Rahn, owner of EZ Cash check cashing store in Grand Blanc Township, Michigan, went against the grain when it comes to payday loan proprietors: He helped someone in need with a little cash.

Mr. Rahn paid a past due electricity bill and deposit fee to the local utility to get the lights turned back on for a struggling teacher and frequent customer. The woman was going through rough times having just been divorced and dealing with a failing car. Mr. Rahn knew of her troubles but had no idea that things had hit rock bottom until the woman's daughter informed him that the electricity had been turned off in their home for a month.

Out of the goodness of his heart, Mr. Rahn decided he needed to help the Michigan teacher out for no other reason but that it was the right thing to do.
