Act of Kindness Allows Disabled Man to See Concert




Two unnamed men are being hailed as heroes in Overland Park, Kansas for their selfless act of kindness during a country music concert held at the Oak Park Mall. During the concert, they noticed Cheryl Connelly and her daughter struggling to hold up their disabled son, Patrick Connelly. The singer on stage was Blake Shelton, Patrick's hero, but the young man could not see him because he was confined to his wheelchair. His family stuggled to hold him up so he could see the show but they soon faltered under the heat. That's when two men stepped in to help out. The held Patrick aloft for over 20 minutes while Blake sang and when they became too fatigued to continue, they worked their way down through the crowd, wheeling Patrick with them all the way to the stage.

Because of their kind act, Patrick not only got to see his hero, he was also allowed to go back stage and meet the singer face to face. Cheryl Connelly was so moved by the kindness of the men she met that she placed a story with the local news to thank them. She never learned their names but she will not soon forget their selflessness.
