A Stranger’s Act of Kindness Turns Garage Eyesore Into Backyard Joy
Sweet Buffalo founder Kimberly LaRussa recently shared a personal story that touched hearts across Western New York. After posting about her need for a garage repaint, she received a visit from Kahuna Koatings Inc. — a company owned by Jeremy “Big Kahuna” Wells. What happened next was entirely unexpected.
From Estimate to Act of Kindness
After seeing Kimberly’s public posts and learning about her battle with breast cancer, Jeremy sent an invoice with a 100% discount. His team arrived early one morning and quietly completed the project with kindness and care — asking for nothing in return.
Jeremy, who was once a stranger, became a friend through an act of selfless compassion. His gift wasn’t just a fresh coat of paint — it was a reminder that even in the hardest seasons of life, there are good people who lead with love.
Now, as Kimberly enjoys her summer in her backyard, she doesn’t just see a new garage. She sees hope.
