He is a dad who is taking care of his three kids by himself. For four months now, they’ve been living on the street in a makeshift tent. He saw something upsetting happen at a gas station one day: a man couldn’t pay, and people around him made fun of him instead of helping him. The father gave the man his last few dollars to cover his costs, even though he was homeless himself. The next day, two jeeps pulled up next to his tent. Someone from the crowd came up to him and gave him a letter. He turned pale as he read what was inside. The letter had news that was unexpected.
Always remember that there is hope at the end of the tunnel, no matter how dull things look. There was recently a kind person who gave up his kids’ lunch for the day to help a stranger. This person showed us hope.
Sean used to be a manager and make a good living. The apartment he shared with his wife and children was nice. Things were going well until his wife got sick. Because of her illness, she had to stay in the hospital for a long time and get expensive treatments, so Sean had to sell their house.
Even at that point, his wife still didn’t make it. She died, leaving Sean and the kids behind. After leaving his job to take care of his dying wife, Sean and his kids were without a place to live. They had to move into a tent in a community and were having money problems. He also had a hard time finding work and could only work part-time while his kids were in school.
Sean, his kids, and I went to the nearby gas station to get cheap hot dogs for lunch. Sean saw a family in trouble on his way to the store. He wasn’t sure how to approach them, so he watched them for a moment before deciding to ask if they needed help. The man said that his wife was in labor and that they were on their way to the hospital but had run out of gas. They had to get money to get to the hospital and fill up their gas tank.
“Okay, sir.” “You can have the last two dollars I have,” Sean said as he took them out of his pocket.
“Thank you! The man said, “Thank you.”
Sean said, “No problem.”
The grateful man said, “I only had a few coins in the car, but this will help me get to the hospital and fill up a gallon.” “Please let me know how to get in touch with you so I can pay you back.”
Sean gave Matthew his phone number, and Matthew quickly got in a car and drove off to help them have their baby. Sean woke up the next morning to the sound of two jeeps. A group of men came out and gave Sean a letter. The letter asked him to be at a certain place at a certain time that same day. When Sean did what he was told and went to the right place, he found that Matthew had asked him to go there. Matthew looked like he worked for a very successful business. When he walked in, Matthew said that he was the owner and wanted to start a new business with someone, Sean being his first choice.
If someone made me such an offer, I doubt I could say no. But wouldn’t it be better to have a partner who can support you financially?” Sean made a query. “Money, huh?” Matthew asked with a raised eyebrow. The rich man in the Lexus didn’t give me gas money until you got there. But that day you gave me your last few bucks. All the money in the world doesn’t mean as much to me as that. I want to put more heart into my business instead of just making more money.
Sean said yes to the deal. Soon after, he was able to rent an apartment for himself and his kids, and he helped some of the people he used to hang out with when he lived in a tent. Some of them even got jobs at the new company because of him. This man had no idea that a small act of kindness would have such a big effect on his life and change everything.
