Darren Bezborotko - a Good Samaritan in Regina, Canada

Darren Bezborotko, of Regina, Saskatchewan, is a Good Samaritan.

Two years ago he offered aid to a woman and her child and that woman has been wondering who he was ever since.

They got a chance to meet on July 19, 2013, in Regina. She thanked him for his help and gave him a bouquet of flowers.

In 2011, Juanita Ledoux was walking to the hospital with her son, Owen, age 6 at the time. The boy had been feeling ill for a week and was suffering from headaches. He was vomiting all the time. Juanita had scheduled medical appointments for tests but he got worse suddenly. She had no transportation at her disposal so she decided to walk him to the Emergency Department of a local city hospital.

As they struggled on the sidewalk, Owen was basically on his hands and knees and Juanita was trying to get him up but she couldn't carry him. Owen kept falling to his knees and then picking himself up.

Darren Bezborotko was driving by and saw this boy and his mother faltering. He stopped, offered help, and drove them to the hospital.

He stepped up and helped strangers, selflessly. That is what being a Good Samaritan

is all about.

Sadly, the boy, Owen, was diagnosed with a terminal brain tumor.

Darren has a wife, Trish, and two teenaged children. Trish stated that it is so typical of Darren to do something like this. He is just a man who helps others.

Pray for Owen and for his mother, Juanita. Pray for mercy for them. Amen.

God bless Darren Bezborotko and his family. He isn't a saint, but his act of kindness is a saintly act - the giving of yourself to others.

God knows we need more men like Darren in this world.
