Upon learning what the situation was, told him to take any shoe of his choosing. Jordan eventually settled for a $180 (R2.5k) which the young lady surprisingly paid for. Touched by her kindness, Jordan's dad shed tears and requested for a picture with the kind-hearted lady.

Kind man buys shoes for poor lady

Meanwhile, Briefly News previously reported that a kind man had bought shoes for a poor lady who need footwear.

In a video shared by BI Phakathi on Facebook, the man came across a woman who was in need of shoes but lacked the financial wherewithal to purchase them. As the wheelchair-bound lady was guided out of the store, he beckoned on them (the lady and her company) to return to the store and pick the shoes of the woman desired.

After paying for the shoes, he gave the woman wads of cash for herself. The woman was taken aback by his kindness and initially declined before going on to count the money with trembling hands.
