Just taught I would share a very sad Experience that happened tonight.
I was sitting at a local Tim Horton`s chit chatting with other people.
Next time there are this women, early 30`s, with a child (5yrs old) that walks in, with 5 grocery bag that walks in crying.
She sits and just stands there.
So eventually we asked her if something was wrong, she said she was stranded, the city buses were not running and when she walked from her place to the local food bank (about 3m) it was closed. So she did get 10$ worth of groceries from a local store for the week. Now the kid was cold (27F outside) and she had another 3mi to walk and had only 3$ so not enough for a cab.
NOW I am usually not very sensitive to some situation, this one however, it did touched me pretty deep. We take alot for granted, this women had no money to eat, but my cell phone bills runs be back 120$ a month.
Anyway so I gave her a drive, she wanted to give me her last 3$ for the drive, which I obviously didn`t accept, also I gave her 80$ when I dropped her, It was like I would have given the world to her.
Just one of those sad situation that prove we should never complain.
Taught I would share with you guys
