Mark
Engravalle has already experienced a lot while working as a policeman. But one
day, as he is called to a Walmart to arrest a thief, something unbelievable
happens.
For Mark
Engravalle (from Roeland Park, Kansas), the day begins like any other workday.
He gets a call at some point and must intervene in an incident. In this special
case, it's at a local Walmart.
When he
arrives, the employees have already taken a young mother named Sarah into
custody. The mother is desperate because she stole diapers, shows, and clothes
from the store.
Mark
Engravalle notices something unusual about the mother's children. They are
barefoot and have dirty feet. When he asks what has happened, she breaks into
tears immediately. Sarah believes she is going straight to jail. Who will care
for her 6 girls?
Mark learns
that Sarah has been living in poverty since her husband died in 2012. Since
losing her house, Sarah has lived with her 6 girls together in their car: Emily
(15), Sophia (13), Angelina (12), Miley (4), and the two twins Becky and Bella
(both 2 years old).
Mark
Engravalle decides to only charge her with a misdemeanor and doesn't arrest
her. Instead, he does something that changes the young woman's life forever.
Mark thinks
about his own children and sees the dirty feet of the 6 girls. He takes her
back into the Walmart and tells her to pick out some shoes. He also buys
diapers and toys for the twins.
"He
couldn't have been nice to my girls," says Sarah Robinson, the desperate
mother. "And then I got a call the next day that they wanted to help us
find a place to live."
Since this
incident, hundreds of people have volunteered to support not just Sarah, but
also Mark Engravalle. But Mark remains humble. He wants all the money, that
people want to give him, to be given to the young family.
"It was
humiliating that I could be at a point where I had to do something like that.
He's greatly appreciated from all of us," says Robinson, who is still
looking for a job to put a roof over her children's heads.
"I grew
up bilingual. I speak English and Spanish and am good with computers," she
says. "I just want to have a home for my children." She is more than
thankful to Mark Engravalla, the policeman with the big heart: "There just
aren't enough words to thank him with," she says. "My girls and I are
in his debt forever."
This
policeman showed his golden heart at the exact right moment that it was needed.
