Elderly Man Has An Accident In His Pants And This Woman’s Reaction Has Everyone Talking

It seems as if most people are just too busy and involved with their own lives to care for the needs of others. That doesn’t mean, however, that we don’t occasionally have needs. Sometimes, there is even someone who is willing to go out of their way to help others, even though they are not getting anything in return. This is one of those stories.

From time to time, we come across a story about someone who is able to restore our confidence in mankind. When you read this story, you are sure to feel the same. It happened on a day like any other day but what took place is inspiring. The woman was out for a trip to the grocery store but by the time it was over, she was nothing short of a hero.

It took place when Lisa Lemming Jackson was out shopping for groceries. As she was working her way from one isle to the next, she saw an elderly man that had a tormented look on his face. She knew right away that he needed some help and as she looked longer, she could tell that something wasn’t right.

As it turns out, her hunch was right. You can read about it in her own words.

“Just spent 2 hrs with a elderly man at Kroger. It started with me just smiling at him, making eye contact ….

As I walked past him he looked like he needed something. I went back and asked him if I could help him. Tears welled up in his eyes and he said:

I have colon cancer and I have had a really bad accident, if I get up out of this cart everyone will know … What should I do?”

The look of his dignity lost left me with a lump in my throat.

From that moment on, Kroger staff quickly fetched us wipes, undergarments and discreetly took him to their employer bathroom Area where he was given clothes.”

“He cried and apologized.

He said he had to hurry his wife was at home alone. When we walked to the register we found his groceries all bagged and somehow paid for.

He cried harder.”

“He said he fought in Vietnam and Korean War and loved his country, but up until day he said he thought his country forgot about him.

We both cried and I shared with him my own struggles and fears… He gave me words of wisdom and encouraged me that maybe after all, humanity still does care about one another.

Today proved it.

Thank you Elmer, thank you Kroger and thank you God for the lesson and reminder I got today.”

This woman proves that our actions can have an impact on many others.

She is an example for all of us to follow.
