ORLANDO (WFTV/CNN) - Anxious residents preparing for Hurricane Irma in Orlando are leaning on each other at local stores to grab what's left of important supplies.

Pam Brekke was next in line for a generator and then turned away in tears when the last one sold.

"My father is on oxygen and I'm worried about this storm," she said.

Workers didn't know whether more supplies and generators would be coming and after a couple of minutes, one man didn't want Brekke to wait any longer.

"He's an angel from God is what he is," she said.

Ramon Santiago saw Brekke in tears and handed over his generator.

"She need the generator. It's okay. No worry for them," Santiago said.

Santiago couldn't say much to Brekke because of a language barrier but that didn't stop him from helping out someone in need.

This simple act brought Brekke in tears again but for a different reason.

"I'm very overwhelmed by that man. He's helping our family," she said.
