A woman from California, United States, shared a photo on Facebook with an emotional story. You should read it!
“We had dinner in town a few days ago. We were waiting for an order when we noticed a woman asking for food that had been left over by others.
No one was interested in assisting her. My heart was broken. Everyone turned their backs on her and threw the food away.
I’ve been assisting homeless folks as a volunteer for quite some time. I don’t mind; in fact, when the occasion arises, I hold them in my arms.
I told my friend that I would give these ladies the food scraps. I looked for this lady at the end of the lunch, but she was nowhere to be found. I felt disappointed that she had been rejected by everyone.
Despite the fact that he had just requested a hot lunch. I was about to throw away the leftovers because I had very little left when a pleasant voice requested if I might share her leftovers.
I made him an offer of everything I had left. Something wasn’t right as I watched her eat. Because I had handed him my leftovers, I felt like an awful person.
I thought he deserved more, so I went out and got him an entire menu. It is deserving of a hot dinner.
I requested that the personnel not drive her away, but rather allow her to dine at a table. When I saw her sitting at the table, I could immediately see the people’s contempt. Not everyone on the street smells like roses.
I saw thankfulness in his eyes as I offered him the lunch. He snatched me up in his arms. She began to cry. I wrapped my arms around her and squeezed her tightly.
I didn’t feel any aversion; instead, I held her. It’s a memory I’ll never forget.
Before you pass judgment, think twice. “Not everyone is like that because they do drugs or are slackers.
