People perform acts of kindness for others on a daily basis; they are just not always visible. TiAnna, a Florida woman, saw a police officer do something she thought was notable last week.

TiAnna was walking across the street from a Dunkin’ Donuts in Ocala when she noticed a cop had parked her squad car in the lot. The cop was sitting on the curb with a homeless man. Ocala Police Department Officer Sergeant Erica Hay had given the homeless man breakfast and wanted to sit and eat with him.

TiAnna was moved by what she witnessed, so she photographed it and shared it on Facebook. “It certainly changed my morning,” TiAnna continued, “even though I was the only person lucky enough to witness less than two minutes of her generosity that definitely came from the heart.”

Sgt. Hay was caught aback when the tale went viral. Her department’s K-9 unit commander was unconcerned about what she had done, claiming that she had merely spotted the man sitting alone and decided to get him breakfast. She told the Ocala Post, “He turned out to be a very kind man with a sad tale.” He is a genuine individual.”

A simple truth that serves as an excellent reminder to everyone that being kind does not need much effort; all you have to do is pay attention to the person next to you!
