LOS ANGELES -- By any logical standard, two years ago Eugene Yoon made the craziest decision of his life.
“I remember kind of just like looking up at the sky and being like, ‘God, are you sure about this? ‘Cause I’m pretty happy right now,’” Eugene said. “It felt like a calling.”
What Eugene felt called to do was one really big random act of kindness. He didn’t know who he was supposed to help or how, all he knew was that he had to help someone and it had to be life-altering.
And that’s when a video came across his Facebook page.
As we first reported in 2015, it was a video of a guy he never met named Arthur Renowitzky. After being mugged, shot and paralyzed 10 years ago, Arthur vowed that he would walk again someday. And when Eugene heard about that, he called Arthur immediately.
“He wasn’t going to give up until I was walking again,” Arthur said.
And Eugene did not have a medical degree. “I have a film degree,” he said.
Which makes you wonder then, how was Eugene going to make him walk again? “This is the part... I had no idea,” he said.....
