Big Ups to a Homeless Hero in Brooklyn
thats wzup, hope someone does sometihng for him
Check this story out. A homeless man in Brooklyn saved a family from a fire. Homage my man, I hope someone does something for this cat. God bless him. Dish from Bossip
A Brooklyn vagrant on a breakfast beer run unexpectedly became the hobo hero of the hour yesterday when he raced into a Brooklyn apartment and rescued a father and two sons. Three other family members including a baby were saved by a selfless firefighter who gave them his oxygen mask. A seventh relative trapped in the blazing apartment was rescued by other firefighters, but later died in a hospital. The homeless man, Andre Nash, 45, kept his wits about him, using a beer-soaked rag as a mask and forcing his way through choking smoke in the burning apartment at the Lafayette Gardens housing project in Fort Greene. Nash admitted that he had just bought two cans of beer at a deli shortly before 8 a.m. when he stumbled upon a hysterical boy begging for help and pointing to the 11th floor, where a panicked mom, Sheohna Taylor, 20, was dangling her 14-month-old son, Roshawon, out the window.
Nash, who often calls a park bench home, raced up to the apartment and, through billowing, black smoke, guided Terence Taylor and his two school-age sons, Brandon and L.T., out into the hall and to safety. “I wasn’t even worried about my life,” Nash said. “I am the guardian angel of the building. I just reacted.”
FILED IN Need to Know, News
dude desreves something for that.
And i dont hink Bossip did this story. I seen it word for word on in the New York Post
thats cool, thats just where i got it from
That is something. I think that is right up there with the dude that covered the man with his body on the subway tracks. Let’s hope someone gives this man a home. It’s cold out there.
definite memory thought, the city gotta do somethin’, we’ll see
GOD truly has a plan for this young man. this story shows how GOD can use ANYONE at ANYTIME from ANYWHERE for his WILL. May GOD be with the family during this time of celebration/tragedy, and continue to watch over them. As for the EARTHLY ANGEL who risked his life for people he did not know, hang in there because only GOD knows what GREAT BLESSINGS he has in store for you. Thanks H-N. had it not been for you, i would not know anything about this story, and it was nice to read something possitive and Spiritually uplifting. STAY BLESSED!!!!!!
Yeah Thought…I thought about the same thing. Dude wasn’t a vagrant though. He had two kids…looked like one though.
