A woman who was left living on the streets of Florida with her dog after experiencing hardships was given refuge when a trio of kindhearted firefighters pitched in to get her, and her pup, shelter from the rain.
It was around 2 a.m. on Tuesday when the Broward Sheriff’s Office received a call from a disabled homeless woman who complained of pain from standing too long, according to a post from the department’s Facebook page. The department dispatched a crew from a local fire station to check up on her, and they soon found the woman — along with a dog and her belongings — along the sidewalk in rain.
That’s when the woman told the firefighters the heartbreaking story about what had led to her predicament.
“Her mother, whom she had been living with and taking care of full time, had recently passed away,” the department said in their Facebook post. “Before she could get a job and start making an income, she was kicked out of her home and began living from hotel to hotel. Money eventually ran out.”
