A stranger’s kind gesture for a 6-year-old boy with Down syndrome who loves the American flag has touched many hearts.
Finn Daly, of West Hartford, Connecticut, has Down Syndrome and Autism, but his deep love and admiration for the American flag are truly remarkable.
His mother says that Finn sits for hours at home watching their flag, and if there’s a breeze and the flag flutters, he spends even more time admiring it.
Their neighborhood is blessed with many flags, so when the family takes a walk around the community, it often takes hours for them to return home.
Finn became particularly fond of one flag, often spending hours near it, almost as if he were camping by it.
The owner of that flag, Todd Disk, noticed Finn’s fascination and decided to do something special.
He built a bench for Finn with his name on it and placed it near the flag. Now, Finn can sit there and admire the flag for as long as he likes.
This beautiful gesture moved Finn’s parents and sister. His mother was brought to tears upon seeing it and appreciated the kindness.
She shared that her faith in humanity was restored by this act of kindness from a total stranger. Our hearts, too, are deeply touched. It reminds us that there is still so much goodness in the world.
