Two years ago I was at the local parts store. There is a strip mall with a McDonald"s that share the parking lot with the parts store. I was leaving when I saw a mid thirty women come out of the McDonald"s. She went to a car. There where four kids in the car. The oldest was just five. I saw her taking hamburgers and tearing them in twos for the little guys. She eat the bread the kids left. She went to start the car and it would not start. She just set there and cried. I went over to see if I could help.

Her husband had just up and walked out six months before. Not one word on where he went. Only one of the kids was hers the other three where his. She had just lost her apartment that week. She had been working and the company moved. She did not have a full time job ,so no unemployment. She had made enough money that she did not qualify for help. She had just spend her last money getting the kids some hot food. I asked her if she had any one to go to. She said no that her parents where dead, no siblings.

So I got her car started and had her follow me home. We have two rooms finished in the lower barn that my Grand Father lived in when he was able to stay away from the hospital. We use it as guest rooms. I turned the heat on while my wife fixed a supper for us all. The next morning when I went to get them for some breakfast she had them rooms so clean that they shined. I asked her what work she would do. She said anything legal. By the end of the next week we had found her six houses to clean on a weekly basis. At the end of two months we had a rental house come open. She moved in there with the kids. She since has gained guardianship on all of the kids. She now has two women working with her cleaning houses and businesses. She never has been late with any bill or rent. When my wife was sick she was the first one over here to help her.

So there maybe scammers out there but if I can help someone I will try. Really try if there are kids involved. There will not be a kid I directly know going hungry. I will feed any children I know of, no questions. How we treat the little ones is one of the ways we will be judged when the time comes.
