There is an article on The New York Daily News website (I'm not tech savvy, I would post the link) identifying the good Samaritan. He says people were staying away from the shivering man because of his odor. The man said he was robbed of his clothes and money. The good Samaritan wanted to buy him a meal, coffee, or get him some clothes. I wonder if anyone can follow up on what happened to this man? Also what kind of person robs a man who is down on his luck?

There are lots of good people.

 I had no way to get myself and my kids home from a hospital one day when we'd had ice. My daughter had had an allergic reaction with hives near her mouth; this was new and I was afraid her airway was going to close up - I couldn't get out on the road due to the ice so I called an ambulance - all 3 of us rode to the hospital in it - when we got there she got a steroid shot - she was released but we had absolutely no way to get home!

 I had my children with me, so I stood at the exit and asked people where they were heading. This man came up to me and I told him what had gone on; he took us all the way home - about 25 miles - and refused even gas money!

  Took us right to our door.

  By that time, the roads had melted somewhat but I still had no transportation as there are no cabs around here.
