Lend a Hand With a Bus Transfer

--by bae6, posted May 4, 2009

I gave away my transfer today to someone that needed it. The poor guy was homeless and needed to go to his case worker.You could tell that he did not have the money.

I remember many years ago in Seattle I was evicted because I lost my job and the hiring then was zero. I lived in a women's shelter because I had to. I was often hungary and broke and I made a promise that it would not happen again. Some people here are not at all prepared when they lose their jobs. I wasnt prepared because I was not expecting it and my late mother and brother knew that something was wrong. So when I get transfers on the bus line, I give them away. Also the buses here have been really crowded. So if you have a transfer or bus change, give it to one of the homeless.

I have lived on welfare and remember what it was like to have to chose between bus fare and food. My husband has been unemployed for a year now. It has been scary, but we do have a roof over our heads and food in our fridges, and I know that is much to be thankful for. You sound like such a kind soul. God bless you. I look forward to your emails. Maymay
