She posted on Facebook a shocking image accompanied by a story that moved thousands of people. You must read it.
A Facebook post by a California woman touched the hearts of many. She saw a homeless woman begging for scraps at a fast food joint, only to be turned down. The couple was so moved by her story that they made the decision to help.
“I didn’t know my boyfriend had captured this moment,” she said. We had a late-night meal out a few days ago… I witnessed a homeless woman enter the store and politely ask customers who were about to throw away their food if she may have it. But no one paid attention to her.
The woman found the homeless woman and fed her own food to her. She felt bad about it and thought the homeless woman deserved more. She decided to treat her to a full dinner.
While waiting for their food, she asked the wait staff to please not kick out the homeless woman. The homeless woman was overcome with emotion at the woman’s kindness and hugged her with all her might.
She learned her lesson about not passing quick judgment on people in need. “Not all of them are homeless because of drug addiction or because they are lazy,” she said. It’s a little nudge to practice empathy and kindness more regularly.
