Lady Calls Cops To Her Home, Then They See What’s In Her Window

Police in Pawtucket, Rhode Island received a phone call from a desperate woman with an unusual request. When they went out to her home to see how they could be of assistance, they weren’t entirely sure what exactly they were about to walk in on, and they soon found out that they were in for more than they expected.
The month of May has proven to be particularly hot for the state when one resident had enough of it and decided that something needed to be done. In her desperation, the 84-year-old called the police since she had nobody else to turn to and no air conditioning, as she was trapped inside the sweatbox of a house with her husband. Prior attempts to fix the A/C unit failed, and with more heat on the way, she became worried for their well-being.
According to a social media post made by the Pawtucket Police Department, Sgt Spetelunas went to her home and immediately offered assistance in an outside-of-the-box way to the woman and her aging husband. Calling on the help of Officer Borsari, the two went outside the couple’s home and created a scene that drew attention from all of the neighbors, one of which snapped a picture in shock of what they saw them doing.

Going right to the source of the problem, the cops installed a new air conditioning unit in the couple’s window, providing them immediate relief in their overheated home. There were still several other windows in need of A/C unit repair, which neighbors were happy to tackle for them, having been inspired by the officers’ good deed and “proving once again that kindness is contagious,” the police department wrote in their post praising the officers.
While the two police officers could have passed off the woman’s complaint as not an urgent matter or something for someone else to take care of, they decided to be the solution, rather than allowing this couple to live in distress another day. Whether you wear a badge and take a vow to serve and protect or are just a citizen living in the community, we can all learn a lesson from these officers, who taught us all to solve a problem for someone else when we see it.
