Letter of the Day: Live, learn and cheer

Editor, Daily News:

The other day I witnessed a wonderful act of kindness that I feel needs to be shared.

On my way home from work I was sitting at the intersection of Radio Road and Santa Barbara Boulevard ready to make a left turn onto Santa Barbara, when I noticed a Waste Management truck parked on the opposite side of the street.

Only then did I see the driver of the truck approach a woman in a wheelchair who had gotten stuck between the curb and a clump of grass while attempting to cross Radio.

The poor thing couldn't move and was completely helpless.

This gentleman not only got her chair unstuck, but he must have found out where she was trying to go because he stopped traffic to allow her to cross Radio.

It was a beautiful sight to see someone do something so selfless. Passers-by were honking and giving the driver a thumbs up in obvious approval of what he had just done.

I just hope that this man knows what a wonderful thing he did and I truly hope that others have learned from his wonderful deed. I know I did.
