These days most people are not interested in getting involved with other people – right? When you are out in public, do you make eye contact with other people, or do you avoid looking at anyone else? Lisa Lemming is not one of those people, she lives in Georgia and came through for a stranger in a surprising way.
Lisa was shopping at Kroger when she saw an elderly man standing in the aisle and made eye contact. She could see that he was in need of help, but she didn’t know what the issue was and she walked past.
Then she decided to ask the man if everything was alright and the man told her that he had colon cancer and just had a bad accident. He knew that if he stood up everyone in the store would know what had happened and he was embarrassed.
Lisa wasn’t about to just walk away from the elderly man instead she enlisted the help of the Kroger employees to help him out. The staff got wipes, undergarments, and were kind enough to get him to the employee bathroom.
The man was cleaned up and dressed in clean clothes after which he cried and paid for his groceries. He told Lisa that he had to hurry home because his wife was there alone.
The man, a veteran of the Korean and Vietnam wars, said that until this moment, he had thought his country had forgotten about him.
Lisa posted her story on Facebook thanking Elmer (the man) and Kroger for all they had done.
Share away, people.
