Good Deeds đ Elderly man slid off seat on 7B, strangers to the rescue.
I want to give a shout out to the 5 people who immediately jumped up to help the elderly man who slid from his seat as we were traveling up Cogswell to Gottingen.
As soon as he fell, three woman near him and two men from the back, went to his aid. Picking up his walker, collecting his items, and carefully helping him back in his seat.
The bus driver pulled over as soon as it was safe to do so and made sure he was okay, asking if he needed medical attention. He politely declined.
After the other 4 went back to their seats, and the driver pulled back onto the street, one of the men stayed near the front. Eventually, he moved to stand beside the man, positioning his body so that if the man started sliding again, he could prevent it.
You all made my day! Seeing everyone, without speaking, jump in to help and take care of a vulnerable person made my heart glow. Thank you for being kind!
