Stuck in snow

Early this Tuesday Feb. 9th morning just before 9:00 am I was on my way to Physio Theapy when I got my wheelchair stuck in the snow at the corner of California and College Avenue. The sidewalks were not shovelled in front of the house on the corner as usual after a snow fall. I was stuck for about 5 minutes until a kind young man approached and asked if I needed assistance. He kindly took the time to push me and my chair with the wheels spinning on occasion through the snow. I have no alternative but to go this way towards the St. Denis Center. Once we got past the last house the walks were nice and clear because the University of Windsor are very good neighbours and always have the walks cleared after every snowfall without fail. I asked this man his name but after a hectic morning with Therapy and other appointments his name slips my mind. I want to say Daniel but I could be wrong. After such a great gesture I apologize if I didn't get your name right but I just wanted to thank you again for taking the time to offer your assistance. It is always difficult for wheel chairs to get out in winter but even more so when people refuse to shovel walks in this area whether they are renters or homeowners. Thanks again for taking the time out of your day to assist me.

Karma works fast sometimes

I was at the gas station with my kids filling up this weekend. Not sure why but when I went to start my van it didn't start. You were parked in a silver dodge car at the pump next to me. It was freezing outside and this was just bad luck for me. I walked up to you asking if there was a chance you could help me with a boost. At first you said you dont bavw cables, i replied that i did and you said ok. I had the cables from my kit in my hand. They were brand new and as I was taking them out of the pack to show you. You finished pumping gas and got into your car and pulped up to my van. I asked you to pop ypur hood and you replied "I don't want to hurt my battery." I explained that these were heavy duty cables and they should be fine. You mumbled something and drove off. The gentleman next to you overheard our conversation and offered to charge me up once he was done putting gas. I thanked him after he got me going and drove off. As I came to front road I noticed a cop car that had pulled a car over...my daughter pointed out that was the same car and you were the same person that said they didn't have time and didn't want to ruin your battery. The kids started to laugh thinking you got what you deserved, I stopped them and said that it wasn't nice to laugh. If I was being honest I laughed on the inside a little. Hopefully he didn't ding you for too much and I'm glad you were able to sit in your car nice and warm.

THANK YOU

Thank you to the wonderful woman who I encountered at a Shell station in London this past week. She made sure my car was cleaned off from the snow, made arrangements for someone to top up my windshield fluid and generally made sure I was OK. My partner recently had open heart surgery and I was overwhelmed with the weather and the general circumstances. I never got her name but what a wonderful example she set before her children who were in her vehicle. Again, thank you so very much.

I went to Fresh Co this January 6th and as I was cashing out I heard this gentleman around 80yo saying that he did pay for his groceries and what I assumed was a manager kept pressing him about the receipt and this gentleman asked the cashier and not to say she was rude but her tone was not pleasant first she said I can't hear you then she was yeah you paid but where is your receipt this went on for a bit I don't know if there was something he might've forgot to put on the belt and pay for but the poor guy was pushing a walker and had three bags I don't think he went in there to steal but to embarrass a senior in front of at least 20ppl not ok shame on you you need more training.
