Just when we thought Jennifer Garner couldn’t be more lovable, she proved us wrong with an incredibly compassionate act that touched hearts worldwide.
In Santa Monica Beach, California, the 51-year-old actress spotted a homeless man in a wheelchair. While many celebrities might have just driven away, Jennifer Garner did something special.
We all appreciate Jennifer Garner for being a kind and down-to-earth person. She’s shown this throughout her career, whether it’s saving her family’s farm, normalizing postpartum baby bumps, or embracing the natural changes that come with getting older.
Last week, she made headlines for giving her father a ride in his childhood car for his 85th birthday. Now, she’s making news again, this time for a selfless and thoughtful gesture that truly reflects the kindness in her heart.
Jennifer Garner was at a carpark in Santa Monica Beach recently when she noticed a homeless man who needed help. She talked to him from her car window and gave him a bag with important things. She also saw that he didn’t have shoes.
So, Jennifer didn’t just stop there. She got out of her car, sat next to the man, and put socks on his feet. Then, she tried to give him her own shoes, but they didn’t fit. Still determined to help, she asked a nearby photographer if he could assist. She wanted to buy shoes for the homeless man.
She asked the photographer, “What size feet do you have? Can I buy your shoes for him? He needs a shoe.” The photographer, being a size 11, offered to give his shoes for free, and he refused payment from Jennifer Garner.
Jennifer Garner’s kindness is no surprise for those who know her well. She has a history of helping others and has been working with Save the Children for over ten years. She has a special connection with helping kids in rural areas, inspired by her own experiences growing up.
Garner once shared, “While I did not grow up poor, I was surrounded by it, and I always said I was a generation and a holler removed from rural poverty. And I went looking and ended up with Save the Children. Because they are definitely the leaders in helping kids in rural America.”
