Following My Heart and Giving to Someone in Need

--by gisellerosales, posted Dec 26, 2017

Even though this is not the greatest act of kindness, I still think that I was able to make someone's day brighter.

My family and I were enjoying Sunday afternoon together. My father had just given me my allowance of 100 pesos, which I was planning to save in order to buy a phone case. That afternoon we went to church since we hadn't gone in a long time. We entered and sat on one of the wooden benches. Time went by quickly, and soon we were leaving.

Outside the church, there was an old, poor woman asking for money. She seemed to be homeless. No one was giving her any money, and I felt the need to help her. I remembered that my dad once told me, "You shouldn't give any money to people on the streets. If they want money so badly they should get a job.” I thought to myself, "there's no way this woman can get a job easily.” So I carefully approached the woman and gave her the 100 pesos I received earlier. At the end, she looked at me and smiled while saying "thank you.”

I really felt like I was able to improve that lady's day.
