[FONT="]"He asks me about my day, he lightens my mood, he jokes with me a little bit... makes my day 100% better," said Renee Falcioni, nurse.[/FONT]
[FONT="]Aside from working at the grocery store for the past eight years- Briar describes himself as an autistic man that loves music, knowledge, video gaming, and compassion.Its the compassion part that stuck out to emergency room nurse Renee Falconi during a recent shopping trip.[/FONT]
[FONT="]"I was an aisle ahead of Briar and he was cashing out an elderly man who happened to be a veteran. And the veteran was short paying for his grocery bill and without hesitation Briar took out his wallet and said I've got this," said Falcioni.The gentleman had a couple basic necessities and looked like he was a little down on his luck and the man fought for our country, fought for our freedoms, our rights. It's the least I could do for him," said Briar.[/FONT]
[FONT="]"I turned around and saw the veteran. His eyes just light up. And he shook his hand and he said thank you and and he had a big smile from ear to ear," said Falcioni.My parents taught me that hard work, perseverance and just being kind to others can help accomplish a lot in the world," said Briar."I'm hoping more people can help each other in times of need, whether you be a stranger or a friend. Just to make peoples day better," said Brar.[/FONT]
[FONT="]The gentleman had used up a $25 Market Basket gift card and still owned three dollars, an amount which Briar happily paid out of his own pocket- proving a small act of kindness can go a long way.[/FONT]
