In a viral Facebook post, the Miama-Dade Police Department wrote: “As we recover from #HurricaneIrma, these acts of kindness remind us all that we are #OneCommunity in #MiamiDadeCounty!”
The story even caught the attention of one Canadian, who shipped the sister a new state-of-the-art chainsaw, CBS News reported.
The nun, who is a principal at Archbishop Coleman F. Carroll High School, spoke to CNN about her now-viral story.
“The road was blocked, we couldn’t get through,” she explained.
“I had the means — so I wanted to help out.”
The school took to Facebook to express pride in her act of kindness.

And the principal is leading by example. Students and faculty at the school woke up early Wednesday morning to tidy up their school grounds and community in the wake of Irma.
They shared photos on Facebook, writing “We are thankful and blessed to have such a wonderful community.”
