Help Given

I was struggling on an uneven pavement today when an elderly lady assisted me off the pavement and on to the road, seconds after that an elderly gentleman walked with me to where I was going and when I came out of the shop another man too me to my next stop offering his arm. Who says there are not good people out there, I wasn't judged by any of the helpers.

Yes, I definitely agree with you! People I don't even know hold doors open for me (I use a cane (stick) and sometimes a 3-wheel rollator). I also had a woman give me her arm to hold as we walked across a busy parking lot into a store. I had a gentleman offer to open my SUV door for me, as well as another gentleman lift heavy groceries into the back of my SUV. I am extremely thankful and appreciative of how kind & helpful people are! My best to you..., ;o)

There are far more good people out there, than there are unhelpful people it's just the less polite get more publicity. When most of the time when I go out someone will offer to help me with something, it's very humbling. Take care and best of luck.
