Repairman fixes military wife's broken furnace for $1

When a military wife's furnace broke down, a Pennsylvania repairman stepped in and fixed the malfunctioning unit at a huge discount.

"As he was working on the furnace, we got to talking about Bobby and the deployment," Stevens wrote. "I had mentioned in passing that I tried to figure it out with my husband, but since he's deployed and couldn't see it, he wouldn't know what to do."

"I'm not the hero here," Betlyn told ABC News. "The deployed, they're the heroes."

Betlyn has since started a "Military Deployment Kisses Fund" on gofundme.com. The aim is to raise money to send families overseas to meet with loved ones during lengthy deployments. He's raised nearly $1,500 in three days.



Betlyn said he was just continuing a family tradition.

"He said that the $1 was a joke and to thank my husband for his service," Bridget Stevens wrote in a since-deleted Facebook post that has gone viral.

He charged her $1.

Stevens said she was "apprehensive" about the cost. Then Betlyn handed her the bill.
