A mother of two came home one day and realized her furnace was broken.

The temperature in her hometown in Pennsylvania got too cold for Bridget Stevens’ children and so she decided to call for help.

According to her Facebook post, she called Betlyn Heating and Cooling in Coraopolis, who subsequently came over to her house to fix the heater.

Stevens said that she normally asks her husband to fix such things. However, her husband is deployed overseas with the National Guard.

“My grandfather was a milkman during the Great Depression and many times he‘d go to the door and the woman didn’t have any money for milk. But the baby was crying in the background. So he’d put the milk on the table,” he told the broadcaster. “And when I heard about Bridget with her husband being deployed...I put the milk on the table.”

Betlyn said he’s no hero.

“I’m not the hero here. The deployed, they’re the heroes,” he explained.
