I've actually skipped work just to help a homeless guy get his beard trimmed. Bought him pizza too. Kinda hard to get anywhere in life when you look like shit.

Be kind to the homeless, they just need a helping hand here and there.

What would you do?

Had a dude come around in my neighborhood a few times. It was the middle of the summer and it can get above 100 where I live. Gave him pbj and some water because if was all I had at the time. He only asked for food and water. Haven't seen him in a year now though.

I hope the fella is doing okay these days. Thank you on his/her behalf for helping them in a brief time of need. Even if that's all you could do, at least it's something.

People like you help me restore a few points in faith in humanity. ๐Ÿ‘

My mind initially skipped the p in pbj and it altered the story significantly
