By:\u00a0Good News Network<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0While Hurricane Irma may be about to wreak havoc on the homes and properties of Florida and surrounding states, the storm has also provided a reason for people to come together in meaningful ways.<\/p>\n

One such scene unfolded in front of a TV news reporter who captured the moment on her phone.<\/p>\n

Pam Brekke had traveled almost 30 miles to buy one of the 200 generators just shipped to the hardware store in Orlando, Florida in preparation for expected power outages.<\/p>\n

Pam was next in line at the Lowe\u2019s store to purchase one of the gas-powered generators when she was told that the final unit went to the customer standing in front of her in line.\u00a0She broke down in tears.<\/p>\n

For medical reasons, her father relies on an oxygen pump that requires electrical power.\u00a0Suddenly, a total stranger, Ramon Santiago, saw her crying and walked over to insist that she take his.<\/p>\n

She pulled the generous man into an embrace and cried even more, as Ramon soothed her.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s when WFTV\u2019s\u00a0Nancy Alvarez pulled out her phone and captured the moment.\u00a0The touching video spread on social media and Alvarez and Lowe\u2019s got together to plan a reward for Santiago.\u00a0Today the store\u00a0presented him with a new generator<\/a>.<\/p>\n
