A hardware store in Texas has built a custom walking frame from two-year-old blind boy.
Silus Johnson was born blind due to a genetic disorder called Norrie Disease, social media website Love What Matters posted.
The condition left Silus unable to walk, and in need of a frame.
His mother, Jessica Johnson, asked the staff at a Home Depot store in northern Texas last week to build her son a customised walker to “help him get around”.
“He is too big for the ones in stores,” Ms Johnson said.
Soon after, the generous staff built a walker for the young boy and donated it to a very grateful Ms Johnson.
“They did this out of the kindness of their hearts and asked for nothing in return,” she said.
“I have no idea how I would ever repay them… my heart is so full”.
