My husband Ben and I were hanging out on the street one evening. I was talking but he was looking over at someone.
He walked over to a young girl who was crying. As he talked to her, I could see from his body language that he was trying to calm her down. When I joined them, I realized that she had been homeless for some time. She told Ben that all she wanted was to go to her sister's house in another city.
Some people would have handed her some money, offered her lunch or maybe allowed her to make a call. Ben did much more. He said, “Kelly, I can't leave her here like this. Sometimes people need someone not only to help them but to believe they're telling the truth.”
It was a bit cold, so we had an idea to take her home. When I asked her if she'd like to go home with us, she thanked me about a million times with tears in her eyes.
We went home and I gave her some clean clothes to wear and told her she could use the shower. We ate something. Finally, she told us her story.
In the morning she was finally able to get a hold of her sister, so she had a place to go. Ben drove her to the bus station and bought her a ticket. 57. Who will train the children on Monday afternoons?
Sometimes what people need is not just money, but people who will trust, listen to and understand them.
