I asked the clerk was she paying for gas and she said yes, I walked outside to talk to the woman and asked her whats going on, she explained to me she had just spent the night in her car with her dog, 10 degrees out and was driving to the shelter 1 hour north and that was the last of her money she had. i asked her a few other questions, job , ect. Before I walked away , I reached down in my pocket and flipped her some cash. Gave her my business card and said if the shelter doesn't work out , call me. Never heard from her, but knew there was a profound purpose of that particular chilly morning.
I agree Ammit , check on those who may be in need. Good to see you around by the way!  |
Nice one pyrangello.
Things like this dont hurt us to do, elderly, or even strugglingyoung adults can sometimes need a little help or guidance.
I actually do this all year round. Local youngsters in my area struggling to make ends meet for food stuffs, I try my hardest to teach them how to make the most of the food they have, a few good successes and sadly some failiures but you cannot expect to help everyone.
The main thing is that we at least try.
