That day stayed with me long after the ER emptied. I couldn’t stop thinking about the elderly lady, alone and vulnerable, and about Jeffery—someone who didn’t hesitate to step in. His simple act of kindness reminded me that compassion doesn’t need a reason, a reward, or recognition—it just needs a willing heart.
In a world where it’s easy to look away, moments like these show us what truly matters: noticing when someone needs help, and being brave enough to act. Small gestures can ripple far beyond what we see, leaving a mark of hope and humanity.
