A woman in Argentina literally lived through a real ordeal in recent months after desperately looking for her husband, who left home never to return to her and it was thanks to a video that went viral that she was able to find him .
A couple of days ago, a young man named Marcos was walking along a well-known avenue in Buenos Aires when he suddenly ran into a man on the street, who called him a lot attention when seeing that he was extremely vulnerable.
Marcos approached the homeless man and after exchanging a couple of words, he found out that his name was José and that he was going through a very complicated situation, so who gave him some money and words of encouragement; however, he thought he needed something more, that is why without thinking, he gave him a big hug.
What Marcos did not know is that on the other side of the street, a woman identified as Adriana carefully observed his action and caught his attention so much that he decided to take out his phone to record it and later, upload their action to networks, with the intention of generating awareness among others regarding those in need.
But what neither of the 2 ever imagined is that said video served so that the man from the street was recognized. Actually his name is Antonio and his wife had been looking for him for months after leaving home and never coming back.
“I was walking through Callao and a person came bent over carrying some bags. You realize when life punishes the person. In general, I am helpful and I was quite moved to see him like this”, says Marcos, who lived this experience on Thursday 22 in September.
Likewise, he shared part of his conversation with Mr. Antonio. This was at all times embarrassed; he did not want to accept the money he offered him and even asked him what he wanted him to do in exchange for the cash he gave him.
The breaking point of the man on the street was when he told Marcos that he felt very tired and began to cry; he also asked her not to hug him because he was dirty; however, he did not stop doing it and this moved the man who was missing even more.
After the hug between these 2 people, the story of a woman named Claudia appeared, who quickly tried to contact Marcos, because the one she hugged was her husband, who has a psychiatric disorder that caused him to be missing for a long time.
Claudia told in an interview for a local media outlet that her husband had left the house on July 7 and that she had filed the corresponding complaint. “His mother died and he entered a very strong depression,” said the woman, who was circulating through the streets of Recoleta distributing papers with an image of Antonio in order to find his whereabouts.
Finally, the woman found her husband in a bar. No further details of the meeting were revealed because the couple decided to keep them private.
