As the global pandemic continues to wreak havoc on the world we live in, communities everywhere are crumbling under the pressure of financial distress, medical fears, and the strange lifestyle changes that have been forced upon us. Those who have lost their jobs due to the pandemic are especially vulnerable, and many of them rely upon organizations that help people in need find gainful employment. Lad Bible reports that at the Malibu Community Labor Exchange, there happened to be a lineup of people that were waiting their turn to take advantage of this opportunity, when a whole other opportunity opened up for them instead. Right before there eyes, Dick Van Dyke from Mary Poppins just so happened to land right in front of them and he began to put cold, hard cash into the hands of people that need it the most.
This story is almost too good to be true. In fact, the most magical element to this tale is the fact that it actually unfolded right in front of everyone that was lined up in search of employment.
It's difficult to imagine how it must feel for people that would typically be independent and able to find employment, to have to come to a public space such as this one, in order to receive a chance at a job.
Times have been dire, and finances have been tight, as a series of industries and the people that work within them, are forced to pause while the world battles against COVID-19..
Many feel that nothing short of a miracle could help them now, and it seems that for a handful of people that started the day down and out, there is a silver lining and a greater reason to smile.
Dick Van Dyke left the comforts of his own home voluntarily, and at the age of 95, he opted to put himself smack dab in the middle of the lineup, and he went to each person and handed them money.
The exact amount of money that he distributed has not been made available, however, the Mary Poppins star has truly impacted many lives for the better with one swift swoop.
He's certainly in the position to aid those in need, and that speaks a lot about his character. Helping the less fortunate is one thing that will always be appreciated, and will never be forgotten, especially when the magical hero that comes to their aid happens to be world-famous celebrity with a huge heart.
