At least she did until a Good Samaritan⁽¹⁾ driving by happened to notice the struggle and offered to help in a big way.

Then basically when she gets off the bus, she has a little frowning face like OK, here we go back up to go up these steps.

Well, it's kind of hard mostly on her because basically she's going up and down the steps. So basically you constantly pumping and dumping down the steps so you can see it jumping and jumping.

my wife called and she says a man at the door. I said what you mean is a man at the door. Said the man with a big truck in the driveway at the door and I don't know who he is.

The school bus stopped and I, you know, I saw him what he was going through getting his daughter down.

So Joe, A complete stranger, parked his truck and knocked on the belton's door with an offer.

Would you mind if I come out here and just build you a ramp for nothing and it kind of got me. I looked at him I was like. yeah I was like you gotta be careful with something up I said no I ain't nothing for nothing no.

But Joe was serious so on Monday while Almay was at school. Joe and his team came here to the Belton home. "I built this ramp free of charge for Almay use."

Joy in our heart to see her smile. The first thing through the door open she got there she just started smiling.

The smile did it for me. Yeah, and knowing that she can do it pretty much by herself. So it's a little more independence for her.

All I can say is nothing in the world could put a smile on that face and seeing his kids smile, especially when something seeing something that she gonna enjoy, Nothing.

A contagious smile. Uniting strangers brought together by an act of humanity and it all started with a knock on the door.
