Food for the Weary Travelers

--by peanutsmom46, posted Aug 25, 2012

Several times I had seen what seemed to be a homeless woman with her dog holding up a sign that said "weary travelers, will accept any donation."

Each time I saw them it nearly broke my heart that this young woman was walking everywhere with her dog beside her. My heart just went out to her for some reason so one day I saw her and went to the pet store and bought her dog some cans of dog food and some treats and went back to where I had seen her but she had already gone.

I kept the dog food and treats in my car hoping to see her and about a month later, I saw her with her dog. I had to turn my car around in heavy traffic to get to her but I managed it and gave her the dog food and treats
along with ten dollars for herself.

She was very thankful and I don't regret doing what I did one bit. Sometimes, we all need a little help. I hope she and her dog find a place to live soon.

I know this personally, as where i worked they would come in there are steal their crutches, stents, knee braces, ect. Yes, these guys were homeless but only wanted beer money. Not food! They panhandle in our parking lots in the area and tell such amazing stories just to get peoples money. Needing baby formula, diapers, gas, medicines, ect.

I know there are still many people out there who do need help but its getting harder to know who to help out here. Its really sad!

You did a beautiful. Thoughtless act, bringing the dog food and dog treats for her plus giving her the cash. God bless you!

By buying food for the dog, you filled up her heart, because I am sure she wasn't sure where she would be able to get the dog food. And giving her money for herself, let her know she mattered too. Very kind thing to do. Many blessings to you.......
