Stories of Kindness from Around the World

Being the $20 Angel in Disguise


--by hkcpa2, posted Jun 30, 2018
I happen to be in Santa Barbara, California yesterday and was walking through town to take photos from the top of the bell tower in the courthouse. It was then that I came across an elderly, homeless woman. I could tell from the look on her face that she was not mentally stable. Seeing that this was the case, I quickly gave her $20. Usually, I will not give money to the homeless because it may be used on alcohol or drugs. However, in this case, I could see the difference and chose to do the kind thing.

When I gave her the money, the look of gratitude on her face was radiant. The $20 was nothing to me, but it was the world to her. Being observant on my part made all the difference for her. I have chosen not to believe in survival of the fittest, but rather in providing assistance for the least of these. There, but for the grace of God, go I. You never know when you will need an angel in disguise.
