What kind of person is rare in this world?

Young man adopts 89-year-old neighbor, sick and without family, and takes her to live in his house. That kind of person is rare in this world.

In 2013, Chris Salvatore moved to the same place where Norma Cook, an 85-year-old woman, lived, who only had the company of her cat, Hermes. The two always met and talked, and over time they ended up becoming great friends.

Some time later, at the age of 89, Norma fell ill and was in a very complicated situation. She was hospitalized for a while and couldn't go home if she didn't have someone who could take care of her.

At the time, Chris created a GoFundMe page to help Norma, and after trying to hire a support team that ended up not working out, the actor realized that he was the person she had.

So he made an extremely generous decision: he invited her to live with him, so that she wouldn't be alone.

“I am so happy to offer this gift to my neighbor and she can live the last days of her life at home (…). I can't imagine what it's like to spend the end of her life in a hospital without her friends or pets,” Chris told GoFundMe.
