In December, Utah Highway Patrol trooper Jesse Williams was
on his way home at the end of a shift when he decided to take one last call.
That’s how he met Leslie Martinez and her sister. The two elderly women had hit
a deer on a lonely road in Iron County. They were unhurt, but the car was totaled.
Jesse drove the sisters to their home and arranged for a tow truck. But he
wanted to do so much more. He talked to his wife and children, and the whole
family agreed to put the money they’d saved for Christmas toward helping the
sisters. Jesse found a used car they could afford, so the sisters will still be
able to go for groceries and keep doctors’ appointments. “We’re so thankful for
the ability to help somebody else,” Jesse said. “Every day brings the chance to
make a difference for somebody. Why wouldn’t I do that when I have the chance?”
