Although the majority of people would be content to give their neighbor a cup of sugar or jump start their car, this kind man went above and beyond for his elderly friend.
The musician, actor, model, and supporter of LGBT rights Chris Salvatore shared an apartment with Norma across the hall. When he went by, she would wave to him.
Chris found out Norma lived alone with her cat and decided to keep her company. Chris Salvatore eventually developed a close relationship with his 89-year-old neighbor. They talked for hours and even celebrated each other’s birthdays together.
The doctors said that when Norma found out she had leukemia, she had no family to turn to. Chris decided to step in and help her in any way he could at that point.
Due to her condition, Norma needed all the help she could get, but consulting a professional to provide such care would cost money that neither Norma nor Chris had. The two of them turned to social media in order to raise the money needed for Norma’s care.
With the help of donors from across the nation, Chris and Norma were able to raise tens of thousands of dollars. However, neither of them ever allowed money to be a factor. She’s part of my family, Chris said. I mentioned that she is my grandmother.
After the contribution funds were exhausted, Chris and Norma decided to share a room. Chris’s good nature would ensure that Norma would never be alone again, but this connection was advantageous for all parties. As much as I’m helping her here, she has greatly helped me, Chris remarked. “.
