Stories of Kindness from Around the World

Helping A Sleeping Stranger In Need.


--by greenurlifenow, posted Aug 27, 2022
On Monday, I was on my way to work, and I saw a man sleeping on the sidewalk, outside of the Tim Hortons donut/coffee shop near the office.

Sadly, this is not uncommon to see people who are homeless, and have no shelter.

I don’t know what is sadder, seeing someone suffering, or see many people walk by as if the person was not laying there.

I went to a nearby grocery store and purchased a lunch kit (sandwich, apple, cheese stick and a juice box) and a bottle of water and left it for the man.
