He Was Abandoned
If you see a homeless person while driving, it’s difficult to ignore the want to stop and offer help, but doing so might be challenging if you’re unsure of how to help a complete stranger. Benita Dearz, however, immediately came to a stop when she observed an elderly guy standing on the side of the road, clearly in need.
Benita pulled over when she noticed Don Felipe Reyes walking alongside the road and decided to offer him a ride, but she had no idea that the act would forever change her destiny.
Benita offered him a ride home after the man informed her that he was on his way home. He was 108 years old, and she discovered throughout the trip that he had 11 kids from three different marriages. Benita, a Mexican woman, said she couldn’t help but wonder about his family.
She was devastated when she discovered the house Don had claimed to live in. She saw that the location of Don’s “house” was in a public space, beneath a palm tree.

She Invited Him Into Her Home
In a Facebook post with a picture of Don, Benita said, “I swear to you that he broke my heart.”
The next question Benita posed was, “Why do they [his family] abandon him since a father or grandfather is the most lovely thing life can give you?”
Benita made a choice to invite Don over for dinner, but she also made the decision to offer him new clothing, let him wash them at her house, and let him rest there.
Since Benita and her family ultimately decided to adopt Don, this gift transformed into something more lasting.
In Honor Of Her Grandparents
Benita said on Facebook that Don Felipe now looks as follows: “A small bath, a fresh outfit, and the nicest thing is a family dinner.”
She was grateful for the numerous offers of help she got for Don. In memory of her deceased grandparents, Blas and Angelita, Benita claimed she was introducing Don into her family’s lives.
The Online Reaction
Benita’s kindness and compassion were praised by commenters. “You deserve the whole world,” one individual commented. You have a huge heart, my friend.
Another person added: “By doing this, you demonstrate to me your noble heart!! There are hardly any, if any, people who are like you. Regards and best wishes for the future to you.
What a kind thing to do for a complete stranger. I’m so grateful that 108-year-old Benita crossed his path that day because my heart hurts for him, having been abandoned at such a crucial point in his life.
Another Woman Helped A Man Who Was Homeless
Unfortunately, a lot of elderly people are homeless. Before Lolly Galvin, the woman who didn’t just walk past him in 2016, he was a hopeless Philadelphian. She learned that John Lochlan was a veteran without a place to live.
He required assistance because he was in discomfort as a result of an infection in his legs. Galvin cared enough to make a difference to restore Lochlan’s faith in people, get him the medical care he needed, and find him a home to stay.
It just took one person to rescue the lives of Lochlan and Felipe. Galvin and Dearz’s generosity allowed two elderly men to live out their golden years in comfort.
