James Anderson, a 52-year-old plumber, is here to restore your faith in people if you feel like it has been lost.
This good-hearted, generous man fixes things for those in need without charging them. He founded the non-profit organization Depher after closing his previous business.
Even though he has been working for free for a while, the nation didn’t hear about his generosity until recently.
In particular, his bill to a 91-year-old woman with acute leukemia, which totaled zero dollars to charge, went viral after being shared online by the woman’s daughter.
James, a father of five, wrote, “There will be no charge for this lady under any circumstances,” on the bill. To assist her and make her as comfortable as possible,

“I don’t want any person who is elderly and disabled in this country, in this day and age, to die or suffer because of a cold home or a lack of funding to repair the boiler.”
“It shouldn’t be happening – that number should be down to zero. Simple as that.” Since his invoice went viral,
Many people became familiar with his work and James was able to raise $100,000 in donations. He’s no longer struggling to keep his non-profit afloat.
James really is a very special person. Nowadays, it’s very rare to meet someone who puts the happiness of others above their own, But James is a proof that those people do exist and make this world a much better place.
