NORTH LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (WSVN) — A police officer is being praised as a hero after he helped a pregnant homeless woman and her 2-year-old daughter.
According to KTHV, officer Tommy Norman came to the assistance of a young woman named Jessica after he encountered her sleeping on the sidewalk with her young daughter, Kayla, in her arms.
Norman took Jessica and her daughter to a hotel, but not before he shared her story on his Instagram account.
Norman learned that Jessica had gotten herself out of an abusive relationship, but after her time was up at a shelter for domestic violence victims, she ended up on the street.
Upon sharing Jessica’s story, Norman set up a PO Box for donations. Packages came in from all around to help the soon-to-be mother of two. Jessica was sent a multitude of items including food and baby items.
After receiving all the help from Norman and complete strangers, Jessica said she now hopes to restart her life and is looking to find a job so she can provide for her daughter and her soon-to-be-born son, Xavier.
