that’s really cool.. I am now in a wheelchair after suffering a stroke almost 3 yrs ago.. and I have noticed complete strangers asking if I need help with anything while I’m out and about.. I might stop for a second on the street to adjust something and I get asked if I need assistance. doors get held for me.. things reached off shelves.. etc.. its really nice .. ve always helped when I needed to before this.. so I’m appreciative of those helping me.. I haven’t had money issues as in your video. although there were a couple of times I was struggling a bit with getting my card out of my wallet or finding my wallet in my purse.. and have been asked by the cashier if I needed a hand but I was ok.. thanks for your story and experiment.. I know the people down there stick together and stick up for each other.. its cool

Unfortunately there will always be the “takers”. I choose to be positive, offer help as I can and it gets returned! Many times over. It may just be a hello or a smile, that works for me. So many good and wonderful people around us. God’s work!

Very good! The most vulnerable deserve respect and caring but also deserve a chance like everyone else. Great story.

So many good, honest people around. Unfortunately we seem to only hear of those who are not. Bless those who care!

It restores your faith in human kind!
Having said that, God bless the people in the area who take an interest to look after the disabled.
There are too many people also, who are negative, and would steal when the opportunity arises.
So far so good!

that’s a surprise!
then there are the sickening people who steal from the Legion Poppy fund. i’d guess they would have trouble looking themselves in the when shaving. if they should desire ONLY can change this.
I am a sober member of AA, and have been for just over 60 years. not a big deal though, it is done one day at a time. together we can.
cheers Mark.

My email is all in lowercase letter, when I wanted to use the b key, it came up in uppercase, also problem with sending my email , that my keyboard wasn’t showing the @ symbol. IAm so hoping this will not prevent the officer from reading what I waned him to hear from my heart. I made many errors as not able to see , view what Ineea typing as keyboard was in my way, however, main thing is, I want to give this police officer. Metal of honor he do deserves. it had to have been really scary to be so very very vulnerable. Word passes quickly in communities as he was in, he could have been easily stabbed from behind, I hope another officer “hadhisback”God Bless all officers my men in blue, with brave hearts,

This in in regards to viewing the brave police officer who put himself in danger far more than other times when he is armed ,has back up etc, IAm a person, a wooman with limited mobility, use a walker in my home and when I’m out, thankfully I have whelhelp from wheel Trans, I experience helpful people and non caring, asking me to move when on a street, in a store, because I am in there way , Thisvis upsetting, hurtful, I often say in state, My walker with thus shopping basket is mt shopping buggy smaller than the one you are using , pushing, so no Zillow will not get out of your way, Their are angel of mercies who help me and I tell them they are so when they open. For me. A there are so many barriers a disabled person faces, doors not able to open, steps in front of a building, storefront,. it’s good to see what the brave officer experienced, Humanity at its best, God with in them, God Bless you officer, Love from ,Toronto,keep up your Nobel, protective work, God keep you safe as you work to defend and keep us safe and uphold our rights bwe somethings feel we haven’t as humans, especially those who others beat see as beneath them, in the way, a means to rob from, that robs from us more than money ,possession, our dignity, and self worth, ,Bonnie
