Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
You know, I love when these stories finally come to
light and you find out that someone has been doing
something good incomplete secret for years. And that's exactly what
happened when people finally discovered what Hody Childress had been
doing in Alabama. Big shout out to CBS for this one.
It says when a man walked into a pharmacy in Geraldine,

(00:22):
Alabama and asked the pharmacist do you ever have anybody
who can't pay for their medicine? It set off a
global chain reaction of good deeds see For more than
a decade, this man, later revealed to be Air Force
veteran Hody Childress, paid more than ten thousand dollars for
other people's prescriptions. They never knew who it was. They

(00:46):
would simply walk into the pharmacy and talk about which
meds they could and couldn't afford that day, and the
pharmacist would say, it's good, it's all covered. Unbelievable, a
really cool moment, And Hody did finally pass away and
the secret was revealed. It had spread rippled effects across

(01:07):
the world. This pharmacist in Geraldine, Alabama now gets letters
from people either wanting to continue the fund in their
small pharmacy or talking about starting a fund of their
own in a hometown. Across the world. People are stepping
up to help with this. And for Hody's kids, Doug
and Tanya, it doesn't surprise them one bit that their

(01:30):
dad was such a do gut earth So when you
heard of the secret, were you surprised? You know, he
was not a wealthy man, but he was probably the
richest man on earth for his heart. Yes, he would
say he's building up his riches for eternity, not for here,

incredible story. You love it. I've got it posted West
