The following story was shared with me by a young lady named Krystal. I am posting it here as an example of a random act of kindness in support of someone in need. (Thank you, Krystal, for sharing this.)
Hello, my name is Krystal, I came across your blog, and I wish to share my story about helping a panhandler:
One
day, my mom and I were on our way to my psychotherapy session around
(at the time). As we were walking down 23rd St and heading towards 5th
Ave,we've noticed the regular panhandler (he's in his 20's) and his
brown Labrador Retriever. Mom had a conversation with him and things so
far have been difficult for him, and I've felt a nudge from within to
offer him something to eat, so I did, despite lacking time to buy him
something to eat. On our way home, we saw him again and I asked him if
he wanted anything from the 7 Eleven that was two blocks away from his
location, and he said yes. So, with the spare $10 in my wallet, I've
bought him a Big Gulp cup of Coca-Cola and four slices of
cheese pizza. We gave him said food and he said that we didn't have to
do that for him, but he really appreciated it.
