It was early one hot morning in 2015 when I was gently wheeled across our quiet street in my wheelchair to the taxi stand with my mother. Three weeks earlier, I had hurt my left leg at home. Now I f1. had an appointment(预约) for an operation to repair the bad break in hospital.

I was feeling n2. as I'd never had surgery(外科手术) before and the thought of it worried me. After waiting for a taxi for more than 90 minutes, we were still standing across the street from our house, trying to ask for a ride. It usually only takes a few minutes, but on this Sunday taxis would pass by us either already filled with p3. or unwilling to take us. Perhaps it was because of my wheelchair. My mother was starting to get upset as we were fast running out of t4.. Our appointment was 10:45 am and it would take up to 40 minutes to get to the hospital. Then a black SUV pulled over and stopped in front of us. The driver, taking a look at us, said, “You two look like you could use a lift!” He told us he’d seen us e5. as he was taking his son to a weekend school activity. He was now r6. home and saw that we were still there.

With no questions asked this good man welcome us aboard. We arrived at 10:30 ---just in time for my appointment. He r7. my money, saying people should help one another. He left with a smile.

To this day we have not crossed paths again with this friendly driver who went out of his way, but his help is kept in our minds. I am very grateful to this kind stranger who has taught me to keep watch for and help others in need.
