An Atlanta police officer has gone above and beyond by donating a pair of shoes to a barefoot homeless man.
Officer S. Thomas noticed the man walking around without shoes. She asked him if he needed socks and shoes, and he said yes.
A video of the police officer donating the shoes to the man has gone viral, garnering significant attention after being shared on social media.
The Atlanta Police Department reported that Officer Thomas saw the man walking barefoot in the rain. She went to get him some shoes, but when she returned, he was gone. Undeterred, she kept the shoes in the trunk of her car, hoping to see him again.
Later, while working an extra job at a grocery store, she spotted the man outside. She quickly retrieved the shoes from her car and gave them to him.
A Facebook post from the Atlanta Police Department said that Thomas didn’t know she was being filmed during her act of kindness. “Officer Thomas saw a person with a need that she could fill and did so.”
