Two posts in one day! Wow! I guess I'm really getting into this..
Anyways, I just had a sort of a heart-jolting experience: A woman comes into our office with a baby in hand and teenage girl at her side. She's wearing a bright smile and somewhat shabby but clean, clothes. She begins by asking for a job and explains that she has no qualifications but wouldnt mind cleaning. I informed her that we have a company that cleans our three floors of office space and gave her the name and number of that company.. She then proceeded to ask very humbly if I can solicit some help for her to purchase some medication for her baby who has a fever and maybe to get some food for the other 4 kids that she has, explaining that she is single due to abuse from the hands of her last baby's father. Oh.. my heart died! I felt for this woman. Here she is not only seeking to feed her young ones, but looking for a way to do it on a full time basis and seeking to help herself by getting a job. How can I help her? I can try to find her a job. I can probably also try to ask around for donations to help buy this lady and her family some groceries.. I gave her my number and I hope she uses it. I also took hers and I will try to call her this weekend and see how she's doing.
It must have taken quite a lot of strength and humility to come into an office and ask for help. I know I couldnt do it! My pride would kill me.
I am gonna make it business to help this woman in any way I can! Her kids deserve to have a life, just like any other. I just hope I have the ability to do it!
