Man Who Once Spent Christmas Without Gas, Paid Past Due Bills For 36 Families
When Michael Esmond got his utility bills — due December 26 — his mind went straight to the 1980s, when he had trouble making ends meet.
According to CNN, the Florida business owner found out who in his Gulf Breeze community was at risk of having their utilities disconnected. Then, he paid 36 families’ bills ahead of Christmas.
The season of giving is here. Michael Esmond paid off 36 families’ utility bills. He found out who was at risk of having their power turned off. He spent $4,600 making their holidays a little less stressful.

The letters were sent out to the families in the form of a Christmas card, saying:
“It is our honor and privilege to inform you that your past due utility bill has been paid by Gulf Breeze Pools & Spas. You can rest easier this holiday season knowing you have one less bill to pay. On behalf of Gulf Breeze Pools & Spas we here at the City of Gulf Breeze would like to wish you and your family a happy holiday season.”
Here’s more on the story.
Another wonderful kind gesture from one of our angels here on earth. Thank you, Mr. Michael Esmond for spreading love and holiday cheer.
