With all of the negativity in the world today, it is easy to forget that there are still people out there performing acts of kindness for one another. That’s what makes it so great when a story like this one goes viral!
A Facebook post is going viral this week recounting the selfless act of kindness that a Georgia Walmart employee did for a woman who had fainted in the store. The way he responded to the situation serves as an inspiration to others.
The post was written on Facebook by Brittany McKee, and it has been liked over 1.3 million times. Brittany explained that she was pregnant at the time and had just left a doctor’s appointment with her husband when they stopped at their local Walmart to go shopping.
“As we were walking to the refrigerated section, we noticed a woman who had passed out and fallen on the floor,” Brittany wrote. “Being a registered nurse, my first instinct was of course to stop, assess, and be there to help. She had regained orientation, but did say she was on blood thinners and felt dizzy. So I stayed with her, along with her daughter and the Walmart personnel, until the ambulance came and tried to encourage her to stay seated. The Walmart staff was amazing. They kept in contact with dispatch as we waited on the bus to arrive.”
While many Walmart staffers were helpful, one of them stood out from all the rest.
“Then there was Jason. I don’t know his last name, but this man, no questions asked got down on the floor with this woman and supported her back so she could lean against him,” Brittany recalled. “He literally got down on the floor to serve her, not because he was asked to do it, he wasn’t, but because he wanted to.”

For Brittany, the experience changed her entire outlook on how the world of today really is.
“The media lately shows our country divided, filled with hate and racial tension, but this right here was one human being loving and serving another without condition of race or obligation,” she wrote. “While we waited, another man stopped, knelt down and prayed over this woman. What I experienced today was love, kindness, and serving. We are human beings, each and every one of us regardless of how much pigmentation our skin has or doesn’t have. I couldn’t help but share because the media doesn’t seem to report this… the unity and the positive that occurs. This right here is real life, this is what it’s all about, not hate.“
We applaud Jason for his compassion and kindness. We need more people like him in the world!
