My 19 year old is home from college for spring break. Yesterday he went to run an errand with me. We were walking into Walgreens. I had to get something from the car and told him I'd meet him inside. When I turned around I saw him giving a great big hug to a homeless. When I passed the man he was sobbing. He told me that he just told a boy he needed 10 more dollars to get home to Florida and the boy gave him 20. The man still crying said now I can get home AND eat. I don't know if everyone who asks really need what they say they do but I'm sure some do. I'm so glad my son is happy to help because the ones who really need it make the ones who don't worth it. (I asked Zach if the 20 was from his Dad for batteries and he told me, "that's still in my pocket. The 20 I gave him was from my wallet". He's as tight -fisted as they come, so I know it he thought the man was worth it)
