4. are aware of
There are good people in this world. Many don't have the means to give,but they do help others.
They really shine this time of year. Maybe it's the season or maybe people notice more during the holidays. In one day,I read about two heroes to humani?ty. One is an anonymous donor from Kansas City,Missouri. They call him "Se?cret Santa". Every Christmas,he shows up at homeless shelters,food banks and other places where people in need go for help. He hands $ 100 bills to those in need. This year he travelled to parts of New York and New Jersey,where many lost everything to hurricane Sandy.
Escorted (护送) by a police motorcade made up of policemen from both New York and New Jersey,Secret Santa visited the hardest hit areas and distributed $ 100,000 to those in need.
That same day,I read about a man who has much less than Secret Santa to give away.
On November 14,2012,New York police officer Lawrence DePrimo was patrolling Times Square,when he noticed a homeless man sitting on the sidewalk. His feet were bare—no shoes or socks. Officer DePrimo was heavily dressed but was still cold that night. He wore two pairs of socks to fend off the cold.
He walked up to the man,asked him for his shoe size,went inside a nearby-shoe store and paid seventy-five dollars,walked outside,and handed him the new socks and winter boots. The man's face glowed with delight as he accepted the gift.
Officer DePrimo did this with no thought of being recognized for his kind?ness. The daughter of a former policeman 9 Jennifer Foster, witnessed the event and took a picture that tells a story that many will never forget―a kind man giving from his own savings to a man who was cold and had nothing.
