“Whatever you do for the least of my brothers, you do for me”. God will bless her! This is amazing.
-
She really saved his life. Sometimes social media is a savior because those men who showed up also helped. His hands were in very bad shape, sepsis was the next step.

My dad passed away, alone outside in 6 degree weather, screaming for help but nobody came. Dementia told him to go for a drive when he hadn't in 2 years. He fell and couldn't get back up. I was 7 hours away. It was Christmas Eve, 2022. It guts me everytime I think about it, and that's every day. I wish someone like her had been there that morning. Grateful she saved one life.
-
Others did die in this storm so she literally saved this man. God bless her.
-
We need more Americans like this woman. Being kind and looking out for others.
-
What a wonderful woman, her partner and her family!! She set a wonderful example of how to show love, kindness and empathy by taking care of this poor guy!! I truly applaud her!!

Why amI crying 😢 This is a touching story. Shakyra is the true definition of a hero.

She put it out on social media & 2 strangers turned up to help 2 strangers!! I LITTERALLY CRIED!! That was TOO beautiful!! ❤xx❤xx❤

She taught a huge lesson to a lot of people that night. Her kids will never forget their heroic mom. She is golden.
-
Nowadays, it's hard to know when to be a good samaritan when helping someone stranded on the side of the road could get you carjacked. So it's good to hear stories like this to reassure us that humanity hasn't died.
-
She is probably the best mother ever. She has that maternal instinct. Her children will grow up well because of her good nurturing. Wow.
-
Such a beautiful story. She was afraid, but showed kindness and mercy anyway. She went above and beyond. I’m so glad she’s been honored and blessed.
-
I cried when this story was reported last year and of course I'm crying now. This is such the ultimate Christmas Story. It would be nice to have an annual update every Christmas for all to see and know the true spirit of this holiday. Sending love💗to Joey, Sha'Kyra, her partner and their family, to the guys who came to their rescue and all involved in making sure Joey is safe and being loved❣💝💞💞

What a wonderful role model for her children.

I'm crying over this. Our country NEEDS more wonderful people like this
-
I worked geriatrics as a nurse for over a decade and the way this story made my eyes tear up. It’s always heartwarming to see compassion shown to our most vulnerable. It be you or someone you love.
-
OMG this woman's love and compassion brought tears to my eye. What a beautiful spirit. This is what the holiday spirit is really about, just as she said! Beautiful story, beautiful lady, and also wonderful men who helped take them to the hospital!!! Heroes all around! 👏💪🙌🫶❤️❤️❤️ I hope and pray all the heroes have a wonderful 2024, filled with love, light, laughter, joy, peace, good health, happiness and so much more! 🙏🙏❤️

He is getting prosthetics to replace his loss fingers. He can no longer work at the cinema house, and he is receiving home care. This is amazing.
-
I think she and her family deserves to be honored for saving a total stranger.
-
Beautiful example of “love thou neighbor”. Thanks to Sha’Kyra, her fiancé, and the 2 strangers that took them to the hospital. They, too, need to be recognized and honored. Glad to hear Joey is doing well considering the alternative. Blessings to all of them.👏🏽👏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
