Teresa Adams and her son Tommy were driving home from the DMV when Tommy noticed an elderly man on the side of the road.
The older gentlemen was attempting to shovel out his own driveway while using a walker.
Tommy insisted that he help the old man, hopping out of his vehicle to personally shovel the man’s driveway.
“Tommy said, ‘Mamma stop the car,’” Teresa told WTVR. “I got scared and asked, ‘What’s wrong?’ He said, ‘There’s an older man with a walker shoveling snow — I’ll help him out.’”
Teresa pulled over the car, Tommy got out, grabbed a shovel and got to work. Teresa, a single mom who has questioned her ability to raise her son on her own in the past was stunned. Through her tears she managed to take a photo of her son and his kind act.
“He was relieved; he looked tired,” Tommy said. “I told him to get back into his car because it was cold. Other people who saw him in the snow should have had the decency to stop.”
Tommy said it looked like a plow had driven by and piled up the snow on the elderly’s man’s driveway. It was clear that the man who was struggling to walk, let alone shovel, needed a helping hand.
“I try to do good for the elderly because one day I may need help too,” Tommy said.
