A dose of good news

Eighty-one-year-old Clarence Blackmon got out of the hospital this week, after months of cancer treatment. But when he got back to his place in Fayetteville, North Carolina on Tuesday, he realized he didn’t have any food.
Not only that, but he was too weak to get out of his chair. So he called 911, because he doesn’t have any family in the area.
The operator was a woman named Marilyn Hinson, and she could have just sent a few cops to his house. That would have been the easiest way to handle it.
Instead, Clarence got a knock on his door shortly after he got off the phone — it was Marilyn, with two bags of groceries for him.
She and two police officers brought the food, and made sure he was okay. Then, she made him a few ham sandwiches before they left.
After the local news heard about it, food donations started pouring in. Now, Clarence says his fridge and cupboards are so full, he’s donating the overflow to a food bank.
He’s not on his own anymore either. A nurse will be going to his house twice a week to help him out.
