Neighbor Sees Police Officer Battling to Push Senior's Broken Electric Wheelchair Uphill
This police officer did not hesitate to push an elderly woman's broken wheelchair up a hill in the heat if it meant that she could stay safe in the shade.
Ever since receiving that moving letter, Marlene Brooks has kept it with her at all times as a reminder that everyone needs to be loved.
It has been five months since Marlene Brooks received the letter that changed her life – and since reading that letter, she has changed dozens of other lives for the better.
Brooks, who lives in Park Hills, Missouri, found a letter in her mailbox from down the street back in April. The letter read: "Mrs. ? Would you consider being my friend? I'm 90 years old, live alone, and all my friends have passed away. I am so lonesome and scared. Please, I pray for someone."

Upon reading the heart-wrenching note, Brooks paid a visit to the 90-year-old neighbor – and she now visits Mills four times a week. The result is now a life-changing friendship.
Even though Mills now lives in a nursing home, Brooks stops by for daily visits with her kids and husband for extra company.
Brooks's relationship with Mills has also spurred her to start Pen Pals For Seniors – an organization dedicated to ending the isolation of lonely elders by pairing them with pen pals.
