No one ever said thank you before. Woman meets 'God's Angel,' will pay it forward
An anonymous donor with 15 years of quiet giving met the Philbrook family and inspired them to assist a friend with urgent home repairs.
- On Friday, Shana Philbrook met the anonymous donor called 'God's Angel,' who said someone close to her needs help with unsafe flooring and brought an extra gift for Philbrook's son, Jayce.
- The anonymous donor has quietly made similar donations for about 15 years and, in her second year in Gardiner, told Shana Philbrook no one had tried to thank her before.
- A woman showed up at the Philbrook family home, said `Merry Christmas,` left bags labeled from 'God's Angel,' and the family shared one bag with another local family, adding toys for Jayce.
- The family says they'd like the anonymous donor to stop by their Brunswick Avenue home so Nicholas Philbrook will inspect the house Friday to help 'repay the kindness,' WMTW reported.
- The donor later thanked Shana Philbrook for sharing the story, and the report updated Jan 5, 2026, highlights community goodwill in Gardiner, Maine, about 50 miles from Portland.
