  1. To every person out there be kind no matter what help ppl no matter what they look like . Cause we all in this together

  2. Bless her kind heart. This is a terrible winter storm. I fear more tragedies as the rescues continue. Even in Florida the cold temps caused a death. A poor old soul, a confused elderly lady, escaped her family’s home and wandered out in the night. Despite a massive search she succcumbed to the cold.

    1. I live here in Buffalo. There has only been 2 storms this bad ever. People died in the cars freezing. We are finding one after another dead.

    1. This is the most American thing ever, im glad a Sista showed the world, what love looks like, the power of GOD looks like, what African Americans think of their neighbors 😍🙏💯

    2. @Silver Eagle I don’t believe in god and therefore I’m a Putin stooge? Be thankful your life doesn’t depend on your logic.

  3. I can not stop crying. This woman truly restored my faith in people!!! My heart is so touched in how you guys have become family. I am a strong believer that God puts people in people’s lives for reasons. God had this planned but you followed the mission.!! I pray for all of you and that you spread hope and inspire others to treat one another as they would want to be treated. How simple this is but how life changing!!!!! Thank you so much for your inspiration Sha’Kyra!!!!!

    1. @Julie Folino Ah so if you survive he saved you but if you perish it’s because he’s got a vacancy in his sky mansion? You are utterly delusional and incoherent.

    2. @Osvaldo Rubalcava 😂. That’s funny. For you. But for the rest of we have faith in humanity. Stay away from winter storms.

    3. @wade stanton She bragged about using a shrub pruner to cut off his finger to steal his ring BLACKS will do anything to steal from White man!!

  4. A test in life. She and her boyfriend passed with all A+! They’re so awesome! Praise God!💯💯💯💯💛🙏💛🙏

    1. No need for the god nonsense. There were dozens of people who perished in this storm -where was your god when they needed him?

    2. God is where he always is, everywhere. Those who parished in the storms are in his care. Life is a school for higher learning for our spirits. Your words are simple and hurtful to yourself. What have you learned so far? We are here to learn how to love through the most difficult times. How else are we going to enhance our eternal understandings, and be a benefit. Do you love your enemies? How about your neighbors near and far? I may not like some of the people I have met or seen, but I have love for them. For life’s experiences has made us all a certain way. Get in touch with God and Jesus and realize we’re all connected because of their infinite love. Or stay believing in this world vision that you have created. Peace.🙏💛😔

    3. @I AM LOVE Ah so if you perish you’re in his care and if you survive it was because he saved you? You’re just making things up as your beliefs are utterly lacking in any evidence and in fact are directly refuted by reality. What happened here is exactly what you’d expect by chance, and does not require any alternative explanation.

    1. How could this even happen? Everyone says there is so much racism in this country. I don’t think there really is. Bless these people. ❤

  5. I LOVE this woman. She exemplifies what human behavior should be. I LOVE her! ❤️ And mad props to Trent and her family for supporting the decision to do the right thing. I LOVE them all!!!!!

  6. Compassion and empathy is colorless, it’s sad that some people don’t get it.
    I am my brothers keeper.
    Faith without action is fruitless.

  7. The lady and her boyfriend that saved him, and the people that took him to the hospital deserve something done for them, like an all expenses paid vacation or something. People like this restore my faith in humanity. I was in the blizzard group and watched this woman beg for help, and the men that came to help without hesitation even though they risked getting stuck in the snow. We need to see more of this! If we continue to highlight these amazing people, the more young people will want to be more like these people.

    1. or a reward of $100k-1mill but yeah the youth should be fed with these type of positivity all round for a great good humanity in the future.

  8. An angel on earth. She saved his life. I hope he continues to heal and get well. GD willing next Christmas, the two families will be celebrating together along with a healthy and strong Joey.

  9. I have an adult son with a developmental disability and I pray that there are kind and loving people like this family around him when I pass on.
    I love this story so much.
    ❤❤❤

  10. I pray Joey is doing fine. I hope Joey comes out the hospital soon . This young lady showed the world that if you need help no matter what color you are we are all god children ❤🙏👍👌😇
