I would like to send a shout-out to two Good Samaritans. About a month ago they were driving along an avenue in North Flushing when they noticed an elderly man hitchhiking.
It was not only sometime near midnight that evening, but we were also experiencing another cold spell. These kind, young people, who I understand were in their late teen or early 20s, pulled over and brought the man into their car.
He was confused, as someone with Alzheimer’s can be, and although he told the pair he wanted to get into Manhattan, they did the responsible thing. They brought him home and solicited the aid of his neighbor to help him get safely inside his house.
Sadly, the neighbor did not get the name of the two young people before they left. It is my hope that a friend or family member of these young people reads this and can express my family’s gratitude for their selfless act.
Thank you.
