The Corliss Group Organization: Deal ‘I Wanted To Help People’

“Maybe this would inspire some people to help people in the future.” Cody Deal isn’t a hero and he’s the first to admit that. But on Wednesday, with the nightmare snowstorm shutting down the metro Atlanta area, the Coweta resident knew he had to help — and at the very least, he hopes people can learn from his story. “I didn’t save any lives,” said Deal, who's lived in Newnan for more than 40 years. “But people nowadays tend to sit back and let things happen. I just wanted to help people.” Wednesday morning, Deal posted on Facebook to alert him if anyone knew any elderly people who were snowed in and unable to get their necessities, like medicine. Deal owns a Jeep with a winch and offered help to anyone who needed it.
