This spring, 94-year-old Keith Davison hired a construction company to install a pool in his backyard, and in July when the the work was finished, Keith invited his whole neighborhood to come over for a swim.
To Keith’s dellight, his neighbors took him up on it.
Now, Keith’s pool is the best thing that’s happened to his neighborhood in a long time.
The local kids finally have a place to swim, and Keith doesn’t have time to be lonely anymore.
“I’m not sitting by myself looking at the walls. What else would you think of doing here you could have a whole bunch of kids over every afternoon?” he asks.
The effect on the neighborhood has been tremendous.
One neighbor told KARE 11 about Keith. “It’s him spreading joy throughout our neighborhood for these kids.”
Another local mom promised, “Now, we’re going to be here every day!”
One grateful swimmer simply said, “It’s awesome and fun!”
