Arturo Ramirez is a disabled man who visits the Chick-fil-A in the La Palmera Mall food court in Texas quite regularly.
Usually, one of the employees will help Arturo get around, and get his food, and check if he needs anything while enjoying his usual mid-day meal.
Over the weekend, 19 year old Ashley Gusman was in the middle of her shift when Arturo came in for his routine meal, but rather than help him to his table and get back to work, she stayed with him.
Other diners watched the good deed and took note of her kindness, with one patron even snapping a photo and sharing in on Facebook.
Jessica Gomez wrote on the now viral post, “I’ve seen this man several times here by himself. The times I’ve been here everyone just leaves him. She cut his food into pieces and went back several times to get him whatever he needed. May God bless this woman.”
Ashley shares with a Corpus Christi news outlet, “I really was surprised when I saw [the Facebook post] and I didn’t know what to think at first, and I was really nervous because all these people were seeing it, [and] you know, out of everybody, why was it me?”
This wasn’t a one-off act of kindness either . . . Ashley hopes to finish school and become a caregiver to seniors and people in hospice.
The 19 year old with a big heart shares, “It makes me feel good that I can have a connection with somebody and make their day a little bit better, or give them some positivity, because you don’t know what people are going through.”
