Driving home from work on a Monday, I saw a lady pushing a shopping cart filled with clothes and some other items. It was raining heavily and she was trying to cover herself up with a wet blanket.
I pulled over and gave her an adult rain poncho that I had purchased for an Alaskan cruise, that I never used and she w
as so greatful. I then handed her a small umbrella that I had (I have a supply in my van from the dollar store for this exact purpose).
She again looked at me with so much appreciation and said, "Oh my gosh, I've always wanted to have one of these, thank you so much."
This just made my whole day. I will be buying more ponchos for this reason and will continue to help those less fortunate as myself. This was very rewarding and I wish everyone could have this experience!
