I just wanted to share something with everyone, I usually don’t go hard at writing but this was important to me..Hear me out

Last Night I drove over to the laundromat. I decided to go to the store to get something to snack on and as I was walking out the store, there was a young homeless guy smoking a cig with nothing but a hoody and and bookbag. Last night was cold as shit so I knew he was cold because I was freezing with my big ass coat on. So I pull him to the side and ask him if he needed a coat. He looked with excitement on his face as he shook his head yes. I told him to meet me at the laundromat in 10 minutes. I drove back to my house and found a parka that I wasn’t wearing anymore and drove back to the Lmat. He was waiting inside warming up and being hassled by the worker for being in there. I took the coat out and handed it to him, bidding him a Merry Christmas. He thanked me and threw the coat on. I moved away so he can get himself situated and when he was done, he cracked a big smile to himself in the reflection of the glass and did mini-tiger woods fist pumps. When I seen that, I swear to God a tear almost rolled down my eye, lol. He obviously needed that for sometime and I was so happy that I can help him in some way.

Point of the Story – This recession shit ain’t nuffin compared to what people who’s been in a recession all their lives. Be charitable in anyway especially during the holiday season. Seeing someone with a smile on their face is way better than anything you may want.
