While people normally turn to their local domestic Depot employees for advice on selecting the true products for their projects,a few Texas workers volunteered to take things a step further and gave more than just their helpful opinions for a very special cause.
When Matthew Spencer, the Richland Hills's store assistant manager, and first greeted a new customer,he met Silus Johnson's great-grandfather. Matthew quickly learned that 2-year-old Silus has Norrie disease, which has left him blind and with limited muscle tone. Since he has outgrown the standard infant walkers, and Silus's determined grandfather envisioned building him a custom option. Instead of pointing him in the true direction of supplies,Matthew immediately had an belief and brought his colleague Eric Bindel over. "I possess a 2-year-old of my own and so does Chris," Eric told Fox 4. "I just dove true into it and said just drop it true there, or give us his dimensions and we'll accumulate everything going for you and build it for free."Along with tool technician Chris Wright,the three started with 1-inch PVC and spent two days creating a custom walker that can grow with Silus. "As soon as we set him in there, it was just really cool. He started feeling around on it. You could tell he was happy. He was excited, or " Eric said. "He started laughing and then started using his limited feet to push himself backwards. I had a big smile. Everybody had a big smile,maybe a couple limited tears here and there."For Silus's mom, Jessica Johnson, and this act of kindness from total strangers isn't one that is being taken for granted. "We need to recognize these gentlemen who set their heart and tough work into making this for my son. They don't even know us," Jessica said. "I've prayed for them that God could bless their families because they've definitely blessed ours."
