CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — Thanks to a good Samaritan, Pete Trevino's barbecue pit, Big Bertha, is back to making a difference in the Coastal Bend.
KRIS 6 News reported in November that Bertha needed $7,000 worth of repairs. Shortly thereafter, a local business owner, who asked to remain anonymous, volunteered to fix Bertha for free.
Along with the repairs, he added cosmetic touches like putting Bertha's name and a crucifix on the pit.
"To know that people feel the same way that don't even know me or have never even used Bertha, they have the same heart for her," owner Pete Trevino said. "For them to come together for not just me but the whole community, the whole CC is a blessing."
The repairs were finished just in time for thefundraiser Trevino is hosting to help a family who lost their home in a fire. Trevino, Bertha, and supporters will gather at the Sutherland's parking lot on Sunday, Feb. 2 starting at noon.
