Shayla Harwell who is the wife of Matthew Harwell took a picture of her husband carrying an elderly lady who had a hard time trying to walk up and down the stairs at a rodeo in Houston Texas last Saturday. Matthew was sitting in his seat with his wife before the start of the rodeo when she pointed out that the elderly lady who was with her grown daughter and her two granddaughters climbing up the stairs to get to their seats. When the elderly lady had trouble climbing up the stairs, Matthew carried her to her seat and assisted her to come down the stairs when she need some assistance to get around. Shayla took the picture of the act of kindness that her husband did to Facebook which gained Matthew a lot of fans.

I thank Mathew specially as I know what is to have problems moving. Climbing stairs can be an impossible task.

That was wonderful of him. Just wish the organizers of such events would read these stories and realize they should find a way to help the older people to get to their seats because they also want to enjoy the rodeos.

I agree with you RasmaSandra since people who have a hard time walking need to be respected and assisted in these venues.

That's very kind but it would be even better if that wasn't necessary!
