Four tired young men were leaving their job at Rebounderz Adventure Florida.

Then they noticed an elderly woman struggling with her mobility scooter. They pulled over to the side of the road, jumped out, and began pushing her scooter up a hill toward her house.

They had no idea that someone had noticed their efforts and needed to thank them in person.

These are some great gentlemen.

Katty Castro discovered the men pushing the heavy scooter up the hill while an umbrella was held over the woman’s head.

Castro, a public relations representative at the Florida Living Independent Community, was moved by their compassion and willingness to assist the woman. And she captured on camera their random act of kindness.

The uproar outside is unexpected.

“Since this is a very quiet neighborhood I was surprised to hear a commotion, laughs, and four gentlemen pushing one of my lady residents under a heavy storm in Florida…”

“They were pushing her up the big slope toward her residence. These heroes were so focused on helping regardless of the inclement weather and they were even covering her with an umbrella, which showed more compassion on their part,” Castro stated to Fox News.

A good deed spreads like wildfire.

Castro personally thanked the men and requested a group photo. She then shared the photos on the Nextdoor community social media application.

The news of their efforts quickly spread and drew the attention of local news stations.

They didn’t need to be thanked — they were simply happy to have a helping hand.

JohnMorgan Massa shared to Fox News,

“[We] noticed the woman was clearly experiencing a malfunction with her mobile scooter… We were tired, dirty and wanted to get back to the hotel… but, knew without a doubt that regardless of our long day, it certainly wasn’t worse than the day this lady was having.”

“She literally had a plastic bag on her head to keep her hair dry,” Massa recalled.

Massa told Fox News that they couldn’t leave the woman in the rain, in the middle of the road, with a broken scooter.

Castro disagreed with the men, who did not believe it was a heroic effort on their part.

They took action to ensure she was safe.

“Those scooters are heavy, add the resident’s weight, her groceries, and collapsing tires, the sum is a whole workout. But, I am proud of their sacrifice,” Castro said.

Massa claimed that “We never expected recognition, just helping a fellow member of our community.”

The men were amazed by the community’s outpouring of gratitude.

They never expected it, but they hope it will inspire others to help their neighbors when they are in need.

Acts of kindness have the potential to be heroic.

Even though the men were simply doing what they thought was right, it made someone’s day a lot brighter.

Their efforts are commendable and hopefully, contagious.

“Holding a door, smiling, picking up someone’s spilled groceries, reaching for an item on the top shelf in the grocery store; and, yes, helping someone whose electric wheelchair broke down in the rain are things almost anyone can do,” Massa said.
