"If y'all need any kindling wood please come buy from this precious 80 year old elderly man," Pittman wrote, saying he sells the kindling wood for $5 a bag.
"Last year he was there selling as well but he had his sweet little wife Helen with him," Pittman wrote. "This year he is alone ... My heart breaks every time I pass him.
