THE DRIVEWAY — Doorbell cameras are often used for security — keeping an eye on the packages you forgot you ordered — but they also allow for many wholesome moments to be captured and shared online that would otherwise go unnoticed.
This video, put on YouTube by Ring, shows a sanitation worker going above and beyond to help an elderly woman. He doesn't just bring her trash can to where it belongs, he walks along at her pace holding her hand, asks about her day and compliments her hair.
According to the caption, the woman is named Opal, and she fell a few months previously while bringing her trash can up. Her daughter told the company, "When my mom fell in January bringing up the trash can, he stayed with her until an ambulance arrived. Since that time, he has always brought the trash can back up to her home."
It seems from the video that this small weekly act of service and interaction is something the man looks forward to each time he's on Opal's route. Both of them are smiling and laughing in the short clip caught by the doorbell camera.
These two unlikely friends are an example of the good that can come when we genuinely care for those we interact with.
