The News-Record of Greensboro, NC is reporting on local acts of kindness shown to the elderly.

Several people have written in thanking good Samaritans for helping their aging parents in trouble.

Those of us with elderly parents know all too well disaster can happen fast, just as it can with children. Your aging parent can get sick or hurt and need help quickly.

If you help an elderly person today, perhaps someone in the future will return the favor…
