This is My Unsung Hero, stories where one person reached out to help another in a time of need.

My Unsung Hero is a boy named Spencer.

Every Sunday, Julie would drop off soup at our house.

I look forward to it every weekend.

I would say thank you for giving me one of the best gifts of my life.

Today's story comes from Oliver Munster.

About 15 years ago, Oliver had to travel from his home in Leipzig, Germany,

to a town a few hours away for a job interview.

And I went there a night before and checked into the hotel. It was kind of tired.

And in the morning, you know, got up, took a shower, got ready.

And I had, I thought I had prepared perfectly for everything.

You know, I had my shoes and my suit and my tie, and then I found out I don't have my dress

shirt. Like, I have everything but no shirt.

It was about an hour away from the interview.

So panic struck me and I went downstairs to the lobby and went to the guy at the registration

desk and said, you know, I got a real big problem.

I have this job interview in an hour and somehow I forgot my shirt at home, my dress shirt at home.

And whether he knew any shop around that was open that I could buy a white shirt from.

And, you know, he listened to my story, and I hardly

had ended it, and he said, I have a solution. And he took off his dress shirt, his white

shirt, and he handed me his shirt without even, you know, saying anything. Just like, here you go. Good luck.
