Feel Good Story: Teen Stops to Help Stranger in Wheelchair Get Home to Safety with Severe Weather Approaching

Gregory Beck of St. Louis lost his legs last year and is legally blind, but that doesn’t stop him from getting around in his wheelchair.

It’ll normally take Gregory about 25 minutes to get back home after he does his grocery shopping, and that includes about 10 short rest breaks, but just last week, that was too much time for what the weather was preparing.

“Everyone kept telling me the storm is coming and you need to hurry up and get home,” Gregory shared with his local news station.

The tornado sirens stared sounding as Gregory was trying to make it back home to safety.

While he was trying to get across the street and up a hill, drivers on the road were honking at Gregory . . . except for Amber Gilleylen and her son Seth Phillips (16).

Seth jumped out of his mom’s car and pushed Gregory the rest of the way to his home.

Of the kind-hearted strangers who came to his rescue, Gregory shares, “Just the greatest people and very concerned about other people, which America needs to start doing more of.”

This wasn’t some one-off act of kindness for Seth, either. His mom shares, “[Seth’s] only complaint was ‘it makes me sad that people would rather fly by and honk at a disabled person rather than to lend a hand.'”

Seth continues, “We need to be caring for each other and helping each other out.”
