A young woman dressed to the nines stood on the road. Over and over, strangers stopped to talk to her and ask where her family was.
No one even noticed that she was wearing dirty, torn clothes as she stood there. It was a terrible truth that most people only cared about how she looked and not how valuable she was as a person.
Because of this behavior, it was hard to imagine a society where everyone, no matter how rich or beautiful, would be treated the same.
It was sad that some people think their lives are more important than others’ just because they are lucky or pretty.
One good example was the poor man who was sitting in Dunkin’ Donuts.
Before the woman came up to him, no one paid any attention to him. He was having a hard time getting by on just extra change.
He agreed, and she offered to pay for his coffee and lunch with her own money if he would spend almost an hour with her before he had to go to class.
She didn’t understand the message he sent her right before she left.
We should all work to make sure that everyone feels valued and respected, no matter what their situation is.
We can all live in a better world now. It shows that even people who don’t know much can add useful information and have a conversation if they are given the chance.
Casey Fischer saw a guy standing by the side of the road asking for money on her way to Dunkin’ Donuts.
Chris, the man, told Fischer about his problems with being homeless and how he had been treated unfairly in the past because of it.
She drew him to her table and bought him dinner because she liked him so much.
He also said that he had used drugs in the past before she had to leave for class.
But Chris gave Fischer a scrunched up piece of paper with writing on it before she left, and that made a big difference to her.
The article says that he was thinking about committing suicide before he met her.
Chris felt energized and hopeful because of how friendly she was.
That this brave young woman really cares about people who don’t have as much as she does is something we should all honor.
With her offer to go out for coffee with someone who doesn’t have much, Casey showed that even small actions can have big effects on other people’s lives.
People who care about others and want to make their lives better are exactly what the world needs.
We can be sure that kindness and understanding are still valued in our society because of stories like this one.
They had faith in people again when they did something nice for someone else.
To show people how small acts of kindness can make a big difference in communities all over the world, we need to share this wonderful story with as many people as possible.
Please TELL your friends and family about this great story!
