We have to take care of each other no matter who’s in need.

“While working today this citizen came up to me while I was typing a report. He said his name is Gary and he was wondering if I can help him out. Gary said he hasn’t eaten in two days asked me if I could buy him some food. I thought to myself if there’s a person in need, my job is to help them out the best I can. I don’t believe in giving money as it may be spent in a negative way. With the assistance of Wendy’s, I was able to get Gary a meal for today. We talked about his life and how he became homeless. I learned he was in the Navy and his son just recently left the Army. He also has a daughter who recently graduated from Buffalo University and a 12 year old daughter who is a black belt in martial arts. Long story short, there is good and bad in all of us. Never judge a book by its cover. At the end of the day I could be one occupying his shoes looking for my next meal. We all come in different shapes, sizes, races, sex, and backgrounds. I am my brother’s keeper. We have to take care of each other no matter who’s in need.” – Deputy Osee Dumel
