This young woman could not go on without helping a homeless person on the sidewalk – the note he left made her burst into tears
When you do good to someone, you first do good to yourself. Doing good is like medicine for the soul, it revitalizes your state with positive energy and charges you with a good mood and more motivation to do good. Slowly, it becomes like a drug, but a beneficial one. Good addicts will encourage others to try it too and will feel the need, they will feel pushed to do some more, one more, and so on. Just like that. Yeah, there are some days when probably the feeling of giving up will be felt, but that’s not the answer. In these days, people must think about how much good they can do, what impact they can have in the world and in other people life. A woman realized how important it is to simply ask someone about their life, making them appreciated and feel that they matter.
Casey Fisher, mother and student was enjoying a normal day and during her lunch, she visited her favorite fast-food local to get her delicious burger, as usual. On the way, she noticed that a homeless person was sitting right beside the burgers shop she was heading to. So she told herself that maybe that person is hungry, so she decided to ask him for lunch together. Casey asked him to come inside and the poor guy with big eyes and an empty stomach was overwhelmed with happiness, seeing that someone finally noticed him.
She bought him a meal and a hot tea and started talking with him. His name was Chris and he had a rough life. He explained to Casey what he been through and that he never knew his father and that his mother, the only person who loved him and took care of him died recently because of a cruel disease. He started taking drugs because he couldn’t keep up with all these terrible events and life changed drastically.
People started avoiding him, friends became enemies, other family members didn’t answer anymore to his calls and he remained alone. Casey was very interested in his situation and showed that she really cares, even if it was the first time she met him. Chris saw that and felt really appreciated and after a very long time, he felt that he matters. Casey had to go, apologized, and thanked for everything, but Chris wanted to write something on a note and handed it to her. He thanked for everything she did. After Casey arrived home she checked the note and saw this message, which made her burst into tears:
“I wanted to kill myself today. Because of you I now do not. Thank you, beautiful being.”
Maybe for her, it wasn’t much that she bought a meal and a hot drink, but for Chris, the simple fact that someone listed to him for real made him change his whole perspective about life. Share this beautiful story with your loved ones!
