In Need

Lastnight at Barnes and Nobels (prob spelled that wrong) while I was looking around for a book to buy a man tapped me on the shoulder and handed me a card. It said that he was deaf and mute and needed money to support himself and others. I as almost always gave him a few dollars ... he gave me the "Thank You" sign and went on his way. I could tell that he was not the typical person just looking for a hand out. He was poorly dressed and had bandages over his head. He appeared to be in his late 50's.

I followed him around the store as he approached a few people in the same manner .. no one gave him anything. I could not belive my eyes. Men and women alike would not open their hearts and give anything to him. Onmy way out I seen him standing by the door.. I gave him a few more dollars for the ones that gave him nothing. I had to .. it was what my heart was telling me to do. On the way home I almost cried.. how can people be so mean. I know there are those out there that live strickly by asking others for money .. young able bodied individuals but this man was clearly in need.

How can you not help someone in need ... I have been there and I know how alone and sad it makes you feel. I also know how shitty it makes one feel when you have to ask for help.
