Many years ago ,l was working at my job at a community college when a homeless woman came in. She began
as she lay on one of the sofas in the student rest room.
, she wasn't well. Without thinking too much I went next door to the Student Affairs office where I knew I could find
in the Lost and Found box. I
up a set of clothing and went back to my office,
I heard a colleague calling me. She told me that I should not
this person, as it would only lead to her wanting more help. I refused her
and went back to help the woman,
my co-worker's warning .
Two weeks later, while I was working, a very cute elderly man entered my
and asked to speak with me in private. Curiously, l gave him my full
and he told me that he had happened to hear my
with the co-worker about helping the
woman. He wanted me to know that it was always okay to help people and that was why he wanted to give me a
for $1,000. I burst into tears, because I
needed the money at the time, but also because I had never been
in such a way for helping someone!
We soon became good
and 10 years later he called me up suddenly and told me he wanted to help me
my first home! He
giving me $120,000 as part payment for my dream house in my home town. I asked him why he wanted to give me such a large amount of money and he said it was because I was a " giver" and that I
it ! To make a long story short, l was able to buy the perfect little home for myself, all because one day I did not
to help a homeless woman.
