94.9 WDKB presented this week’s #HometownHero award to:

Dr. Nathan Stewart

A few weeks ago, Dr. Stewart of Stewart Family Chiropractic saw a gentleman outside using an outdoor electrical outlet to charge his phone. Nathan didn’t think much of it at first, but the more he gave it some thought he wanted to approach the gentleman and ask if he was okay. He learned that the gentleman’s name is Nick and it turned out that he is homeless. After talking with him more, Nathan realized that his new friend was in need of some new clothes. He offered to run out and purchase a new pair of boots, socks, hand warmers, a coat and some other cold weather essentials.

Nathan says that Nick is very humble and shy. Over the weeks, he has come to know him to be a simple person who has had a run of bad luck, lost most of his identification, and just wants to get back on his feet. Nathan has reached out to Nick a few times since they met by bringing him food and other essentials as the weather turns colder. He even bought him a new cell phone when his old one would no longer charge so he can try to reach out to his family and government agencies to get back on track.

Thank you Dr. Stewart for this selfless and kind act of reaching out to a complete stranger in their time of need!
