HELPING HANDS
One day, a senora saw us and she spoke with my husband. She asked us what happened. My husband explained to her that we were homeless and had nothing. We said we had been thrown out of our apartment because we fell behind on the rent. We paid a little bit whenever we could, but we were late. The lady said, “How come she evicted you if you were paying her something and you have kids?”
The time was coming to pick up the kids now. And the lady asked us who was going to go get them. And she invited us to stay with her. She said that she had a son who was homeless and it made her cry to think about it. She said to go get the kids and bring them to her house. When we got there. she gave us warm blankets and she said we could bathe in her bathroom and change clothes.
We were happy to have a place for the night, but what about tomorrow? We thanked the lady in the morning when we woke the kids for school. She said, “Come back this evening and I’ll give you a place to stay tonight and food to eat.” I thanked her but I was embarrassed. Anyway, we accepted her kindness for another night.
