    It’s sad when such a simple act gains so much attention, this should be the norm if someone needs help. I’m glad she’s getting recognition though and hope her kindness spreads

Acts like these mean the most.

    On this day as God was looking down on the earth the thought came to him to press the button and end life on earth. Then God saw a young man who was running late for work in bumper to bumper traffic. While in traffic the young man let another car in and God took his finger off the button. Then God saw a young lady who held a door open for an elderly couple and once again God took his finger off the button. So today what will you do to keep God from pressing the button? Evoni Williams, you did your part, God Bless you.

    I think it's nice that they honored this girl but it's also sad that our society has gotten to a point where that's just my normal.
    This is not about jealousy this is just sadness because I remember America being different.
    My dad used me well when he was a kid he had neighbors that helped each other and he lived they lived in California. They don't have money most of my family doesn't have money but there's always been this concept of helping one another.
    We've always known that life is hard and sometimes bad things happen to people who are just trying to do the best they can

      I think it's because at one time, not too long ago, this kinda behavior was normal.
      It's upsetting for some to realize how actions that were once normal societal interactions (many of the younger generation of adults have a hard time in engaging or interacting with people outside their circle of friends or outside of social media) or acts of kindness are now taken as rare, beyond the norm acts of human kindness.

  • @lenchoabud2836

    That was extremely nice I God bless her soul I care for my elderly father I have caring for him for about two years going on three and I am proud to say that it brings me great pleasure in assisting him with his every day routine from getting him dressed,bathing him, shaving him ect.I have been unemployed since he fell unfortunately in or around the state of New Mexico or the city of Las Cruces NM the adult protective agency does not have anybody that will modify my father s bathroom to help him with his condition.They also don't have any body to care for him 24/7 so I stepped up in my family and have been caring for him 24/7 and decided that my elderly father comes first. Unfortunately the rest of my family members had taken my father for granted my sister and her son's ex girlfriend coned my elderly father into signing a huge mortgage which was extremely unkind because my father is illiterate he didn't know what he was signing they took advantage of him.😔😔👌

  • @lenchoabud2836
    @lenchoabud2836 Год назад

    When I found out I brought this problem up to the attention of the local police department as well as adult protective agency and neither of them did anything.I tried explaining to them that it is fraud when have an elderly person sign a financial contract when the person doesn't know what he or she is signing. I also confronted the bank because I paid for my parents residency and had a public notary for the State of New Mexico put a written lean on our residency and the bank broke my lean.😔😔😔

Your real blessings will comes from above. The true God, see EVERYTHING. He knows your heart and He knows your name. His name is in the Bible at Psalm 83:18 Continue your kind acts. We need more human beings like you. One day we will according to
