Thank you for sharing this beautiful story. God truly bless you with it and taught you a very valuable lesson.

My oldest son has down syndrome and is epileptic and autistic, and my other son is mildly autistic. Issues beyond our control have forced us into serious financial problems. But we've always had a reprieve. I've been grateful for that, and my heart goes out to anyone who is homeless. As i said it could be any of us. Your story is exactly why we shouldn't judge, thanks for sharing.

As someone who has been homeless, i know that a lot of people are quick to judge, but i do hope by simply reading your story, it has helped others open their eyes a bit and try not to judge by outward appearances. Thank you for sharing, it brought a smile to my face.

You gave that woman a gift. She was able to give. Something. And as a member of this site, we all know how much we love giving. You allowed her to give instead of resisting or rebuffing her. How easy it would have been to say, "oh no. You don't need to. You don't have it. Or whatever". But you gave her the gift of giving. Now that is a gift! God bless and thank you for sharing!
