    What fun it is to see the surprised look on someone's face when you help them. And strangely, I don't miss the money at all.

    Kindness and generosity is never a mistake. When her life is more stable,maybe the young woman will pass it on. You may not get a tangible benefit right now but you showed that, despite hardship, you are in charge of your own life and made your own decision according to your own values.

    I think what you did was wonderful and heartfelt. I am sure that you made that girl's day a little brighter and can also say that you have started this new week off on a very positive note for all of us reading your story. You are indeed an angel :)

    Whatever you do for the least of these, you do for me also.

    I think you did a wonderful thing. The other night when I was coming out of the pharmacy there was a homeless man there (I don't usually see them there) and I smiled at him and said hello. He said thank you so much for sharing a smile with me.
    As I continued to my car, I felt bad. All it took was a smile to make this man feel happy even if for a moment in time. I went to my car and got what little cash I had (I don't carry a lot of it) and I walked back and said to him, here it's not much but maybe enough to get you a dinner. He answered me with tears in his eyes. "Thank you and God Bless"
    Made me feel good and I am sure you feel good for what you did as well.
    Hugs

    I believe every little unsolicited good deed comes back to you one way or another in many ways. The losers are those who choose to look the other way.
