Four Men Push Elderly Woman in Scooter Nearly a Mile After It Breaks Down in the Rain

You never know when you’re going to be in the right place at the right time to help someone, but being ready and willing to help is the best way to prepare.

Four young men in Seminole County, Florida, seized the opportunity to help last month when they realized an elderly woman was struggling with her mobility scooter.

She was stuck in the middle of the street. It was raining. She had just gone grocery shopping, and had her groceries with her. The four men saw her as they were getting ready to go home, but they stopped.

“ noticed the woman was clearly experiencing a malfunction with her mobile scooter,” JohnMorgan Massa, corporate general manager at Rebounderz Adventure Parks, told Fox News.

“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.”

“We knew we couldn’t leave her in the rain, in the middle of the road, frantically trying to get her scooter to work again.”

So three of them pushed the scooter three-quarters of a mile with the woman in it back to her residence, while the fourth ran ahead, holding an umbrella for the woman.
