Mentor, Ohio, is covered in a thick blanket of snow this week. Homeowners like Don Wheeler have their work cut out for them, shoveling their walkways and drives just to be able to get in and out of their homes. But Don Wheeler, has been confined to a wheelchair for two decades. It can sometimes take him days to clear his driveway, and because he’s on a fixed income, hiring someone to do it is not an option.
Last week, he looked out his window last week and saw an Amazon delivery driver was shoveling snow off the wheelchair ramp to his home.“I started hearing noises of somebody shoveling. I was like, is somebody shoveling my ramp?” he recalls, “I looked out the window and it was the Amazon driver.”
Don tells News 5 Cleveland "My heart wants to cry with joy. It does mean an awful lot. See, I'm getting emotional about it".
Wheeler went outside to thank the Amazon driver, but the man just gave him a smile and continued shoveling. Wheeler wants him to know how much the simple act-of-kindness meant to him. Later, Wheeler learned from his neighbors that the unnamed Amazon driver shoveled several other homes in the neighborhood.
