00:00So like a lot of Cup of Joy stories, it has to get a little dark before it gets happy.
00:07So stay with me.
00:08Okay.
00:08This is the Andy Somershow.
00:10An Arizona grandmother contracted a group to build something in her backyard.
00:16They took money, they started working, and then they never came back.
00:21I hate those people.
00:22Mm-hmm.
00:23Yeah, a contractor scammed an older woman, took almost all of the money for the entire project, bought supplies, left
00:32some stuff in the backyard, never even came close to finishing it.
00:35Barely started it, in fact.
00:37And that's when Cesar Ontiveros heard about this and said, you know what, I'm going to go buy the supplies,
00:44and I'm going to finish this project for Grandma.
00:47Community came together.
00:48He ended up not charging her a dime, spent 40 hours building what she wanted in her backyard.
00:55Well, now we're dying to know.
00:56Yeah.
00:57What was it she was building?
00:58A birdhouse.
00:59Oh, good.
01:00Yeah, maybe.
01:01Okay, no.
01:02A bird sanctuary.
01:03Maybe just like a deck.
01:04A deck, okay.
01:05A bird deck.
01:06Oh, for birds.
01:07For birds.
01:08Sure, Donnie.
01:09No, no bird deck.
01:10Poop deck?
01:11No deck.
01:14She got a contractor out there to build a mini wrestling ring for her grandsons.
01:22If you smell what Grandma's cooking.
01:24Oh, my gosh.
01:26I mean, you can't make this stuff up.
01:28That's amazing.
01:30So here Grandma, trying to be Grandma of the Year in Arizona, says, my grandkids love wrestling.
01:34I want to build this.
01:35Gets a contractor to do it.
01:36Gets scammed.
01:37And that's when the owner of Ontiveros, or of Water Fighters in Lake Pleasant, Arizona,
01:43he put this whole thing together, included loaded ropes, padding, vinyl covering, and
01:50a custom logo for the backyard.
01:54Yes!
01:54He gets a real logo!
01:56Like, he went above and beyond what the original plan was and did it pro bono because he said,
02:02hey, I needed to make sure that she knew that there are good people in this industry.
02:08And, well, when they finished the ring, the grandkids tested it out, and it was amazing
02:16because he got to be there to see them using it.
02:19That's awesome.
02:19And he said that made it all worth it because he got to see his hard work.
02:23Yeah.
02:23And these kids enjoying it so much.
02:24Yeah, that's so great.
02:25Great.
02:28Great.
02:29Great.
