Jovem de 18 anos tira os próprios sapatos para os dar a outra pessoa e comove a Internet
Jordan Hope, um jovem de 18 anos do Arizona, nos Estados Unidos, está a emocionar as redes sociais depois de ter sido filmado a oferecer os seus próprios ténis a um homem em dificuldades.
O jovem encontrava-se no parque de estacionamento de um centro comercial quando reparou num homem que caminhava com a ajuda de um andarilho e calçava sapatos muito desgastados. Sem hesitar, decidiu descalçar-se e entregar-lhe os seus.
18-year-old Arizona teen gives an elderly man his shoes after noticing the man’s shoes were barely hanging on his feet. Jordan Hope says he felt that God was telling him to approach the man. “I looked at his feet and his shoes were like maybe a fourth on his foot,” Hope said. “I just felt like God told me to go over there, turn around and just give him some new slides. So I took off my own shoes. I gave them to him, and I just felt like I brought maybe a peace in his life.” Little did Hope know, a stranger was watching the entire encounter and shared the footage online. After giving the man, Mr. Roy, his shoes and leaving, something told Hope to turn back. Hope found Mr. Roy in Walgreens and found out his wife had died two weeks earlier. “I just think he needed a friend… It’s hard asking for help sometimes. And I’m just glad that God brought me there in that moment to just show my light on other people.” Hope ordered the man a rideshare because he had a hard time getting into his own car due to a leg swelling condition, and they met at Culver’s for lunch. “I knew a tug pulled on my heart, and it was definitely from God… He interrupted my plans for that day to carry on His plans,” Hope said. Hope says he now talks to Mr. Roy daily. The young man has started a GoFundMe for the elderly man. I will link it below.

O gesto foi captado por uma testemunha e rapidamente se tornou viral. Questionado sobre o que o levou a agir assim, Jordan explicou que sentiu que Deus o estava a incentivar a sair da sua zona de conforto para ajudar alguém.
