Adam Phillips has had his heart set on a service dog for years now. It’s a wish that became a reality over the weekend when an anonymous stranger stepped forward with a generous gift.Adam, 20, has a rare neurological disease called Hereditary Spastic Paraparesis. He’s had a dozen surgeries and is unable to walk on his own.<snip>
<snip>So last Saturday they planned a car wash at a local Arby’s and got the word out a few days before in a newspaper story.The car wash started off slowly.”Nobody was coming and then a guy pulled up in a truck and he said, ‘I don’t want my truck washed but this is for you,’” Stephanie said.He handed her an envelope and went to wish Adam a Merry Christmas.”I started counting and counting and counting and it was just $100 bill after $100 bill,” Stephanie said.The envelope contained $2,000, an amount that brought Stephanie and her husband, Tim, to tears.The man who delivered it refused to give his name.”I have never met the man before, I asked him his name and he just waved me off,” Stephanie said. Adam calls him a “heavenly messenger.” The money will allow them to put a down payment on Scout and pick him up on Christmas Day.<snip>
