I told you all about my homeless friends.
I bought them bus tickets for xmas, to go to the big city with their uncle.
Well last night at closing time the wife called me.
She said they were going to stay there, that the uncle had given them a room.
She said it was small, but was 1000 times better than being outside.
Today they were going to a food bank to get some food.
And that monday, the husband was going to go look for a job.
Im so happy for them.
They just needed some help.
She was crying and said she missed my coffee.
I told my brother, Im going to have him take them some rice, beans and things,, on saturday. As he goes to the city every sat.
I feel so good for them now.
God bless.

It was just a small thing I did, for a family that just needed someone to help them at xmas time. I feel good that now I know they are sleeping inside instead of outside in this rain and cold we have here.

Wow! That was really sweet of you Maria and they sound like they are very appreciative too. It sounds like life might make a turn for the better for this little family. That's great. What a beautiful blessing you were to these people. I am sure they will remember you always.

I wanna say thank you even if I'm not that person you helped. Thank you for making a difference in someone's life by helping them. As we should know, this is just what people needs, someone to help them without asking for favor in return and they'd be helping themselves to get up from the situation they are into.

This is always good news when someone you have worked with and cared for that is homeless is able to have something good happen to them. My husband and I work with the homeless ministry thru our church, and give back from time to time to the homeless in the area. It is always nice when you hear of something good happening to some of them. I hope you'll always choose to keep in touch.

You received a Christmas blessing by being a blessing and a help to others. What an awesome result. I am glad you helped them so that they could get off of the streets and be with their family. I sure hope the husband finds a job.

It is a wonderful news indeed now that they have managed to get themselves a place to stay. Among all the basic necessity that we need, shelter is very important to us too. People always say that having a shelter provides a big share of your needs. I do believe that. We can lose so many things but food and shelter are the things that we can not live without them. It is also great that the husband is looking for job now. I can just foresee happier days awaiting them in the future.
