Nuku’alofa resident Jason Takitoa Fangupo Heimuli has urged Tongans to share their good fortune with people who need help.
Heimuli was talking after he came across a woman lying by Sālote Road on Tuesday night.
He had been out to buy a takeaway meal about 7.30pm.
Vehicles and pedestrians went past the woman, but nobody stopped to help her.
Heimuli said when he arrived the woman appeared to be unconscious and was lying helpless on the sidewalk.
He helped resuscitate the woman and then, with the help of a security guard at the Post Office, helped the woman to Heimuliʻs car.
Heimuli took the woman to hospital. When she said she had no food he stopped and withdrew money to buy food.
The woman was checked by the nurse and seen by the doctor.
He said he was told the woman was staying in the area at Sopu.
Heimuli said the woman thanked him and said: “Thank Jesus for your love. If you did not pick me up the vehicles would run over me.”
“My life has no negative intentions on anyone, I am the happiest person and a happiest son to my lovely parents and a happiest brother to all my siblings,” Heimuli said.
“Sometimes in our life, when someone needs your help you’re facing away and don’t help.
“Someday you see people who need a hand, but you just ignore them and walk away.
“We need to help and share what we have both spiritually and physically.
“You will never became popular or famous when you help someone, but you are winning a million of hearts.
“There will be no crowd, but He is watching you.”
