The Coolest thing I ever done in public........
Couple years ago, I went downtown Mpls. I saw many teenagers and young kids are homeless (about 20 of them). They looked so dirty, hungry and cold. It was wintry time... they were begging for money or food. My heart broke from seeing them like that... after I done with my errands and went pass them, they are still there.. I saw McDonalds next to them.. I went in and bought 40 dollars worth of cerficates.. I asked mgr to have post-it notes to write down... I wrote down some notes with homeless/shelters phone number and crisis number too. I went back and passed out the cerficates & notes, to the small children first then some teenagers.. Their eyes are gleaming shiny with smiles and rushed in McDonalds. Cops went by and stopped, said to me. "you are an angel". and the Cops talked to small children and convert them to go with Cops to shelters.. I talked some teenagers, "if you are runaway, please think about calling your parents or your closest friends to go back home because this place isnt a home".. then i got in my van and I broke down with tears.. I said myself.. I am very thankful that I have a home for my kids and food/clothings..
