It is said that the 51-year-old woman saw a homeless man in a wheelchair in a Santa Monica Beach, California, parking lot.
You don’t have to have a very vivid imagination to picture how most other A-list stars would have just gotten in their car and driven off. One person who is not like Jennifer Garner is Jennifer Garner…
Jennifer Garner is a kind, down-to-earth person who has shown herself over and over again in her career, and we all love her for it.
The Elektra star has a history that sets her apart from most of her famous peers. She has done amazing things like saving her family’s farm to preserve her ancestral history, working hard to make baby bumps normal after giving birth, and showing that getting wrinkles and folds as you age is not a problem.
Garner made news just last week when she gave her 85-year-old father a ride in the car he used to drive as a child. Now, her name is being thrown around again, but this time it’s for a kind act that shows how selfless and thoughtful she is.
Reports say Garner was in a Santa Monica Beach parking lot earlier this week when she saw a homeless man who clearly needed help.
The actress is said to have rolled down her car window to talk to the poor stranger. She not only gave the man in the wheelchair a bag with useful things in it, but she also saw that he was walking around without shoes on.
That was such a sweet moment.
TMZ put up this on Monday, September 18, 2023.
The actress from 13 Going on 30 didn’t stop there; she also took her shoes off and tried to give them to the man.
It was clear right away that the shoes didn’t fit, but Garner wasn’t going to give up. She went up to a nearby paparazzi who had been following her and asked if he could help.
Page Six says she asked, “What size feet do you have?” “Can I buy your shoes for him? He needs a shoe.”
The photographer asked what size the man needed, with Garner informing him that the homeless man was “10 and a half.”
“Oh, I’m 11! Want me to give it to him? I can give it to him,” the paparazzo responded. To his credit, the photographer rejected payment from Garner and gave up his shoes freely.
Of course, Garner’s generosity likely won’t come as a surprise to anyone who’s followed her life and work closely. The actress has long been an advocate of helping others in need, having worked with Save the Children over a decade ago.
“While I did not grow up poor I was surrounded by it and I always said I was a generation and a holler removed from rural poverty,” she once told Southern Living.
“And I went looking and ended up with Save the Children. Because they are definitely the leaders in helping kids in rural America.”
