Tyler's Holiday Challenge

[Tyler Durden]

Back in December 92 or 93, I was in Houston. I had separated from my wife at the time, and had custody of all three kids.

We were driving from a quick lunch at McDonald's, when I spotted an old, shabbily dressed man under the freeway overpass with a sign that said simply "I'm Hungry." It was very cold.

I started to weep, and the kids all started to cry too. We turned around, went back to the McDonald's and bought him a two quarter pounders, fries, two apple pies and two large coffees. We drove back to him, and I got out of the car, gave him the food, and gave him two sweatshirts, an old coat and jersey gloves that were in the trunk, and $20 that was all the cash I had in my wallet. He started to cry, I started to cry again, and the kids were crying again. He thanked me over and over and I just said it was OK, and we left.

Tolstoy once was sitting at his desk in a Moscow winter, contemplating the abject poverty of the people, when he said to himself, when we see need, what then must we do? His answer was, Whatever we can do.

When you see one instance of need this holiday season, do whatever you can do.
