I used to see him at Starbucks all the time—always meaning to reach out, but never finding the courage. Then one lonely morning, I finally asked: “Would you like to have lunch with me?”
That’s how I met Tarec, a man living in a tent beside the freeway, carrying dreams, struggles, and resilience most of us can’t imagine. What started with a hot meal and a shower grew into job applications, new clothes, and finally—hope.
This isn’t just his story. It’s a reminder that sometimes all it takes is noticing someone, showing up, and saying: “You matter.”
