Today the AWESOME is in Brewer, Maine. A woman named Heather shared what she saw the other day that has gone viral and touched the hearts of many. She wrote on Facebook:
“I just witnessed the most beautiful thing that restored my hope in humanity just a tad. There was a person panhandling in the median of the entrance to Walmart, and a Brewer Police Officer pulled up in their cruiser, got out, and started walking toward him. Now, I was fully expecting this very squared-away duty patrolman to tell this guy he could not be there and to leave the area, but to my very pleasant surprise, he stopped traffic so that he could join the man while he asked passersby for their change. From my car I heard the officer introduce himself in a very kind manner and then ask the man if he needed help connecting to any resources that may be available in the community for those in need, such as himself.
I was shocked but extremely pleased to know that our cops are actually out here protecting and serving EVERYONE in our community.
Offering kindness and restoring faith…THAT’S AWESOME.
