Seeking Samaritan

Benefactor 'changed my life'

By SARAH KENNEDY, CALGARY SUN


Nicole Borriello is looking for the mystery man who rescued her after her tire was repeatedly slashed and then later returned to the scene to replace it.

For the past week Borriello, 34, has been thinking constantly about the Good Samaritan known only as "Doug" to thank him for helping her "more than he probably knows."

Borriello, a fitness trainer, said a personal crisis left her in tears as she was driving to work just before 4 p.m. on Aug. 8.

Her car started thumping as she travelled along Bow Bottom Tr. "I parked at the side of the road and got out and my back tire had about 30 slashes in it and I thought, 'What's next?" she said.

Not knowing when or where her tire was slashed, Borriello made calls to her mother and friends, but they couldn't help.

While worrying how she would get to work, a man pulled over and asked if she needed help.

"I thought to myself, 'In this day and age, do I take the help? Do I go with him?'" she said.


Borriello climbed into the man's car and said her father would fix the tire later.

Doug drove her to work, shook her hand, and wished her luck.

A few hours later, Borriello's father picked up her keys to go and fix her tire. "That was the night we had the horrible hail storm," she said.

"He showed back up shortly after with a blank look on his face and said my tires were perfect."

Borriello's father handed her a soggy note found on her windshield, that said, "May God be a blessing to you. With kind regards, Doug T."

Borriello said she wants to find Doug and thank him.

"I want him to know he didn't just change my tire but he changed my life -- he was like an angel who came to me and said everything is going to be alright," she said.

"I want people to know there are good people in this world."
