About a year ago, I was stabbed in my neck. I almost lost my life. While being in the hospital, I couldn't go to work and did not have an income anymore, so I couldn't pay some bills. As I went for a checkup, I was told they found cancer. The medication was not covered by insurance and paying out of pocket is very pricey, and without an income, I couldn't afford to pay it anymore. Day by day, my health is falling apart. Now I pray... When you're alone and going through this, it's not just harder but scary. Having someone with you changes things. Anything anyone is willing to help donate, even if it's a dollar, will help more than you think. $1 can save my life. Every day I go without medicine, I get weaker, and it makes it harder to feel any better. $1 can literally save my life. The pain is getting worse by the minute. I would not wish this pain on my worst enemy. That $1, if you decide to help, can be the difference. Keeping that $1 can be the reason I don't recover in time. This would be helping the homeless also.
Whoever is reading this may not believe it, but I'm not only trying to raise money for my health, but the money will also help the homeless. Every weekend, I will be feeding and helping the homeless. If you care to join, send me a message. And if you do want to help but you cannot be there, message me how much you are putting towards helping the homeless, and there will be pictures posted on my Instagram. If you want, you can ask, and I will just text you the pictures from the weekends we go to help. If you are donating, message me the amount for the homeless. You helped since they are all suffering from hunger. You can go to bed knowing someone was able to have a meal when they don't get to eat at any time they want. I am also giving out clothes, and if you have something in mind you want to give them, just tell me what it is. I will purchase it with the donation you send to go towards helping them. I'll have the receipt for you. Thank you . Since someone cared enough about me when they don't know me but was willing to help, it's only right that I help the homeless.
To be honest, even if I didn't get help, I'll be happy knowing the people struggling on the street and going days without food. Sleeping outdoors, sometimes in the rain or cold, with an empty stomach. Sick most of the time since they can't get the right help. If getting some or just one feeling better and needed to use all the money, even if I'm left with nothing, I'll feel better knowing a mom or dad or someone's kid, or someone's relative got to enjoy that meal and help with stuff to keep them warm and a way to eat for however long. I would pick that over keeping a dollar for myself. Taking away that dollar could be you taking away that little happiness they haven't felt. Holding a dollar bill is like $100 to them. I would rather know I was able to help someone feel better than getting a million dollars. That money will eventually go, so will the smile on the person's face. The difference is, they will always remember that one moment, that one meal, that sip of soda, and when they think about that day, even less than a second, they will smile again and feel happy again.
Let's help the homeless know what happy feels like. That could change their life. Now they're motivated. They want to stay smiling. Maybe it'll push them to change for the better.
