Day after day, Dr. Jim Withers spends his time caring for others. As if his daytime hours were not satisfactory enough, Withers does something extraordinary each night, and it's the most selfless act I have ever witnessed.
After forging a great friendship with a formerly homeless man named Mike Sallows, Withers learned that Sallows took to the streets many nights to offer food and blankets to the homeless. Withers wanted to get involved.
In order to interact with the homeless and make them feel comfortable towards treatment, Withers and Sallows dress for the street, wearing old clothes and carrying bags of splints, inhalers, and basic meds. Five nights a week, the two men make silent miracles happen all throughout the streets of Pittsburgh. Withers has estimated that his nightly deeds have helped around 1,200 homeless folks a year — since 1992! People like Withers and Sallows are the little miracles our world needs, people full of selflessness and giving and love.
