Elderly Woman Filmed Handing Out Food To Homeless In Freezing Cold

Feb 21, 2019 by apost team

A 72-year-old lady from the United Kingdom has warmed hearts all over the world for her efforts. Diana passes soup out, every single night except for Thursdays, to the homeless people she finds on the streets.

Those nights will find Diana pushing her small shopping cart down the streets of her city. When she comes across a homeless person in the cold, she does not hesitate to grab something out of her cart. What she gives away is sure to warm the body and spirit- warm, nourishing soup.

Diana has been a volunteer with St. Swithuns, a local church, for years. She did not expect that her regular act of kindness would ever go viral, but we are glad that it did.

Charlie Franks was passing by on February 13th, a very cold and bitter night in Southsea, Portsmouth. He spotted Diana handing out her soup and decided that the world needed to know about this extraordinary woman.

He filmed the elderly lady and then posted it to social media in the hopes it would go viral, which it has. He explained that she makes the soup and hands it out to those who need it the most, even when the temperatures are bitterly cold.

The video shows Diana handing out soup to a couple of homeless people sitting on the cold pavement in Southsea, Portsmouth.

Franks decided to speak to the unsuspecting woman as she worked. He then posted the video to social media, saying that his faith in humanity had been restored by this amazing act of kindness.

Katy Elizabeth, Diane’s daughter, spoke to the Daily Mail. She said that her mother was “caught out,” as she is supposed to tell her and her brother when she comes back. She went on to say that her mother is very independent.

From what we can see, Diana isn’t that concerned with her own safety. Instead, she braves the cold weather almost every day of the week in order to get a warm meal to the homeless.

Frank told The News, a media outlet in Portsmouth, that he couldn’t believe what he was seeing. When he spoke to Diana, he learned that she takes soup around to the homeless every day but Thursday.
