For the past 20+ years, Gene Hubbard has been taking the bus to and from work every day. The 70-something Milwaukee resident is an independent and self-reliant guy who has remained dedicated to his job.
But what makes this story so amazing is that Gene is blind. And though diabetes has taken away his eyesight, it hasn't stopped him from his difficult commute.
Recently, however, the intersection at Gene's bus stop went under construction. The plethora of road barrels and cones threw him off his ability to navigate and made things not only confusing but also incredibly dangerous.
"If I don't have a regular locating point to start from, I may as well be in the middle of the ocean," Gene told WITI.

That's when a young bus driver pulled over in the middle of his route, stopped the bus, and approached Gene. A bystander realized what was happening and snapped a photo to capture the moment for all to see.
The kindness she captured went viral, and you're about to see why.
