A Smyrna man's good deed is inspiring people across the country and around the world.

Bilal Quintyne spotted Belinda Whitaker in need when her electric wheelchair ran out of batteries, leaving her unable to get around. She asked Quintyne if he could call for help to get her home.

Rather than call for help, Quintyne decided to lend her a helping hand — by pushing her all the way home himself.

"I don't care what you're going through," he said in a video posted on Facebook that went viral.

"When God calls you for help, you're supposed to help. Period. Period."

you misunderstood, I meant other people might try to harm or steal from her, when you tell and show things like this, you find out just how evil people can be, that is what I meant.

Whenever I see someone far from a residential area on one of those things, I always wonder if they have a backup plan. That is a lot of faith to have in a machine.

The world is still a beautiful place with some outstanding people. On a lighter note. Always nice to have a man around when the batteries die. lol.

Idiot! She didn't run out of batteries. The batteries were drained of all its charge. Editors and reporters need to go to school to learn things, oh wait...

“her electric wheelchair runs out of batteries”

Really? Is this an ABC headline? Do they mean batteries ran out of juice or literally she ran out of batteries? How many batteries did she take with her and go through before running out?

BTW, kudo’s to the kind man for helping out despite the vaguery in the headlines wording.

Ya think,
“Her community is helping her raise money to buy a new van. If you would like to donate, visit her GoFundMe page.”

Maybe it was an infomercial for a “face-book-a-thon” ?

I don’t like to be cynical, but most people I see riding those things are simply too fat to walk.

I don’t trust most things like this on Facebook and once they, or others, ask for money, any legitimacy goes out the window.

The truth is that they put their lives on the line every time they do it, just like people who use electric cars do it if they use said vehicle in an emergency evacuation.

It would be pretty dangerous to tow one of these flimsy little things.
