When this Kentucky man saw someone in need, he quickly stepped in to help

Teo Jordan, 18, from Covington, Ky., was bagging groceries at a Kroger store recently when an elderly man was unable to pay for all his items, according to local news station WLWT-TV.

“I just [saw] that he didn’t have enough money for all the groceries that he wanted,” Jordan told the station. “So the cashier told him to put some back so I just thought in my head I would give him this $35 so he could have all the food that he wants.”

But when he saw someone in need, that was more important.

“Just treat people how you want to be treated, you know, always help out if somebody needs it,” Jordan told WLWT.

“He gave him a couple of extra meals that he probably didn’t have,” she said. “We just need to be human again.”
