An act of generosity by a young woman toward a blind man was captured on camera.
Unknowingly, her act was published online.
It wasn’t fame or attention that Casey Spelman sought after. All she wanted was to assist the man in calling a cab.
This is another example of how random acts of kindness can never go out of style. A blind man unsuccessfully tried to hail a cab following a Chicago Cubs game before Casey approached.
Witness: As the event unfolded, Ryan Hamilton took a few pictures on a rooftop close to Wrigley Field. A cab was then called for the blind man by 26-year-old Spelman, standing next to him.
Spellman admitted, “At that time, I didn’t think much of it. Following a Cubs game, it was still rather busy. He’s going to need some time, I thought.
She inquired whether he preferred to sit in the front or the rear.
In the Wrigleyville region, Casey, an Indianapolis native, was visiting pals. A Chicago-based assistant US attorney named Yusef Dale was revealed to be the blind man.
Are you looking for assistance hailing a cab?
Asked Spelman.
He remarked, “You sound lovely, so cabs will likely stop for you before me,”
Dale joked in return.
While she went outside to hail a cab, Casey and Dale chatted about baseball, the crowd, and the afternoon game. After a short while, a taxi arrived, and Casey and Dale embraced before Dale entered.
According to Ryan Hamilton’s caption,
“I wanted to give this gal a shout-out. We are on the rooftop of the Old Crow Smokehouse in Wrigleyville; I have no idea who she is. Before the lady asked him if he needed help hailing a cab, the blind Cubs fan had been attempting to do so for several minutes. Until a car arrived, she stood next to him. Seeing such generosity in a world where the media shows much hatred is amazing. Freely distribute to spread her generosity.
It’s a Facebook post that has received more than 38,000 reactions. Why shouldn’t it, too?
Casey doesn’t consider herself a hero and merely wants to go viral stunt to teach others a valuable lesson. Even though this occurred in the past, simple deeds of compassion can spread throughout the world.
Spelman works as a speech-language therapist for hearing-impaired students in Indiana.
She continues by saying that we ought to treat everyone equally, despite their differences or any disabilities they may have. If everyone had adopted her adage, the world would be much better. We concur.
Even though there is so much hatred and fear in the world, Casey’s kindness might be the impetus you need to go out and assist those in unpleasant situations.
Casey Spelman showed the entire world how powerful even the tiniest act of kindness could be for creating change.
