Homeless Man Saves Autistic Girl From Busy Street Green Bay

In Green Bay, Wisconsin, a homeless man named Weldon Tucker became a hero after saving a 6-year-old autistic girl, Honeretta, who ran away from her family during their move and darted into a busy street near the Main Street Bridge. The girl's grandmother was loading the car when she lost sight of Honeretta, who ran more than two blocks and into dangerous areas including a busy street and near water, which posed significant risks. Tucker, who is currently receiving support from the NEW Community Shelter, selflessly ran into traffic to stop vehicles and rescue the girl without hesitation or expecting any reward. The girl's mother, Faith Roberts, and grandmother, Tynetta Johnson, expressed deep gratitude and wished to repay Tucker, but he humbly declined, saying he was simply happy to help and is used to doing helpful things. The family feels Tucker may not fully realize the impact of his courageous act, and Tucker himself hopes others would do the same in similar situations. This incident highlights both the vulnerability of children with special needs and the profound kindness found even in the most unexpected individuals.
