Woman welcomes homeless man into her home
Concerned stranger helps blind man who slept under a bridge find a fresh start
A Calgary man who was out on the street is getting his life back together after a total stranger welcomed him into her home.
Ricky Crow, who is legally blind, was living under a bridge in November when Nancy Ager noticed him.
The breast cancer survivor watched him for a few days, and — when the weather turned cold — she decided to act.
Ager drove up and told him through her car window that he was welcome at her place.
"When I first came over I didn't know whether to trust her. She just came in from out of the blue," Crow said.
Ager took Crow home, cooked him a steak dinner and fitted her couch with bed sheets.
"A lot of people said, ‘what am I doing?’ My personal feeling is that he could be an angel. That's the way I look at it," she said.
"I think that it was actually because he was more scared of me than I was of him that I could trust him," she added.
Crow, who has been living with Ager ever since she took him in, is starting a new job in construction.
