Compassion can come in all shapes and sizes and from all types of people in unexpected ways, as this story of how police officers at the Rome Police Department lent a helping hand to a homeless man.

Police officer Aaron Page was doing his daily duties of patrolling the streets of downtown Rome, New York, when stumbled upon a homeless man named Bobby.

But to the police officers' surprise, Bobby wasn't asking for food or money, all he wanted was a hot shower and a haircut.

“It was obvious he needed some simple things clothing-wise,” Officer Jeff Buckley told WSTM.

“He literally had just the clothes he was wearing.”

Luckily for Bobby, he was in the right place at the right time.

Officer Page set about honoring Bobby's request and invited him to the Rome Police Department for a hot shower the following morning.

Bobby showed up at the Rome Police Department the next morning.

The homeless man was given a fresh shave and a haircut.

He was then given a new pair of red sneakers and a wardrobe of clean donated clothes.

Bobby got his wish; he not only got a hot shower and a haircut but a complete makeover.

“We are always trying to come up with new ideas of how to help and give back to our community,” said Buckley.

“Officer Page spear-headed the idea on this one, and it was a great way to help someone who simply needed a hand.”
