Minnesota Now’s series called “Thank You, Stranger” explores the small acts of kindness that make a big impact.

As the March blizzard made its way to the state, Jim Gausman was reminded of another storm that hit 20 years earlier — when he unexpectedly got life-saving help from a snow plow driver as he was fighting cancer.

Minnesota Now producer Alanna Elder spoke with Gausman about the help he received on that day in this installment of “Thank You, Stranger.”
