Sister Margaret said of her kind actions: “Do what you can to help other people, don’t think of yourself.”

The Miami Dade police shared the footage on Facebook, explaining: “One of our off duty officers was happy to find Sister Margaret Ann pitching in by cutting trees to clear the neighbourhood roadways.

“As we recover from Hurricane Irma, these acts of kindness remind us all that we are one community in Miami Dade County!

“Thank you Sister and all of our neighbours that are working together to get through this! #MiamiDadeStrong.”
