"Frank the Janitor"

From a  Sun Sentinel article from December 24, 2006:

Then Bruce Prevost, a longtime member of the special needs ministry, told a story. 
"Frank the Janitor," had visited the special needs center about six weeks ago. Early in life when he was still a janitor, Frank had donated his life savings of $25,000 to a church ministry, before becoming successful in business, Prevost said. 
When Frank heard about the Szukas' struggle with a hurricane-damaged, wheelchair-unfriendly home, he decided to provide them with a furnished, accessible house while remaining anonymous. A 4,752-square-foot Loxahatchee home, worth $500,000, built on 1.2 acres in 2003 for a wheelchair-bound man, was the perfect solution. In the last week, church volunteers had painted and personalized it. " 
Your family has served and served and served, and been an example of boundless love," Prevost said, handing them an oversized gold key, wrapped in Christmas ribbon.
Interesting...

UPDATE: Apparently, this story was included as a chapter in a book titled "Christmas Promises: Heavenly Gifts for the Holiday Season" by LeAnn Weiss published by Gospel Light.

You can read the chapter at Google Books.
