My name is Aaron Boren. I'm just a normal guy that's a christian. I have a story to tell you which happened to me that has changed my life.............It was a normal day on my way to work this Monday. I was driving down El Camino in Sacramento when something caught my eye. There was this woman sitting in a chair next to the bus stop with a push cart.  I didn't think anything about it and continued to drive to work. After a long day I headed home and I noticed the same lady sitting in the same exact spot 10 hours later but I kept driving. Something inside me told me that I needed to go back and check on her. So I turned around and went back. I asked her if she's ok and why she has been there all day. She sadly said she's been  homeless for 2 days and doesn't have anywhere to go. A asked her if she was hungry and she said yes so I went and got her some food. I  gave her one of my military balnkets and told her that I'd check on her in the morning. I had a very tough night thinking about her hoping she'd be ok. I woke up in the morning and it was pouring. It was raining hard all night. My heart hurt for this nice lady. I couldn't get to work fast enough to check on her. I thought she surely found somewhere to take cover and keep the rain off her. She didn't. She was in the same spot drenched to the bone and freezing. I told her to get in my truck and I was going to help her. I took her to my work and put her in the break room and gave her a towel and blanket and then when straight to Target to get her some new clothes and shoes. She was so very thankful. She said why are you doing this for me? You don't even know my name. I asked her name and she told me her name was Mary. I said nice to meet you. I said God has asked me to be your guardian angel. She slept all day in the break room. My shift was over and I didn't know what to do with Mary. So after talking with my wife we decided to trust our heart and bring her to my house. Mary was very happy to come with me. She had a good dinner and played with our two dogs.  My lovely wife Genee took all her wet clothes and washed and dryed them. Mary was sill tired from being up all night so she went to sleep. We got up in the morning and I took her downtown to find out about how I can get her in a homeless shelter. If you never been down there to see the all the people that are homeless you should. It's so very sad. It makes you thankful for what you have. I got some good information, but there is a waiting list to get in every shelter in Sacramento!  So I don't know what to do with Mary and thats why I'm asking for help. I put her in a hotel today but don't know what to do for her tomorrow or for her future. Since I'm her guardian angel, I've decided to give $100 a month. I'm asking my friends, family, and anyone to give what they can. My goal is to not put Mary in a shelter but to get her a room to rent and help her get a job so she's not just a nother statistic. The money will go for rent, food ect. I appreciate any help you can give Mary.

Thank You and God Bless!!
