I don’t know your name, but today my daughter and I saw something we will never forget. For about fifteen minutes we watched you with a homeless man. You took off your almost new sneakers and gave them to him. Then you even removed your socks, stood there barefoot, and gently took off his socks that had a big hole in them. You pulled out baby wipes from your car,
cleaned his foot, and slipped your socks and sneakers onto him.
You did not stop there. You helped him out of his worn shirt and gave him a clean one along with a pair of shorts you had in your car. You handed him bottles of water and some money before you walked away.
People were passing by, some even staring, but you never looked up. You did not record it for attention or applause. You did it simply because you cared.
I truly hope this message reaches you. My daughter and I both want you to know that you are the kind of person this world needs more of. No good deed ever goes unnoticed. Keep being you.
