Stranger Donates Van To Business Owner After Robbery

(Eutawville, SC)  --  An Orangeburg County man whose livelihood was taken away from him in a robbery has reason to smile.  

Eutawville's Bill Watkins has been a sign installer for 75 years, but his van and lift were recently stolen.

Chase tells News 19 he wanted to set an example for his daughter, and he hopes his small gesture catches fire.
