These images of a bighearted nurse treating a homeless man in the middle of the street have touched the hearts of netizens.

They were shared by Facebook user ‘Fher Ibarra’ who took them.

Commenting beneath the pictures Ibarra said: “She is Mari. While I was waiting to be picked up, I saw this woman who had come out from work and started to treat this homeless man.

“She did not have to do so, she could keep on going as a lot of people do.”

He also commented that before leaving the place, he decided to buy more medical material so that she could replace the items used treating the man.

He added: “I asked him if she needed something else and she said no, I blessed her, I thanked her for what she does and I left.”

Local media reported that the nurse seen in the pictures is named 24-year-old Marycarmen Caro Gastelum from Culiacan, in Sinaloa, Western Mexico

She told local media that on her way home from work she noticed infected injuries on the man’s foot and so stopped to help.

She told local media: “Then I went into a pharmacy, I bought medical supplies material and I asked him if I could help him. He told me yes, that he only washed with water.”

The nurse added that the man had two fingers amputated two years ago and they had also become infected.

She returned the following day to treat the man’s fingers and this is when Fher Ibarra reportedly approached to offer help.
