When was the last time a stranger did something kind for you ?

[Arkansas Granny]

9. Over the weekend. I noticed a wooden crate behind an empty business not far from my house that

was apparently being used as a temporary shelter. There was a bicycle parked against it, plastic over the top and I could see a sleeping bag and a couple of plastic bags inside. Later that day, I fixed up a bag containing warm socks, a couple of wool hats, a pair of gloves, a fleece throw and some food items that don't require refrigeration and don't require heat to prepare and placed it outside the makeshift shelter. No one was there at the time, but when I checked back later, the bicycle was back and the bag was not in sight.

There are many people who cannot go to the homeless shelters, for one reason or another. Sometimes it's because they have a pet with them that is not allowed, sometimes they can't meet the no alcohol/no drugs policy of the shelter, some don't feel safe at the shelters. Living alone, I can't invite a total stranger to stay at my house, but I will keep an eye on this spot and help again when I can.
