She Was Going To Give A Homeless Woman Her Leftovers Until She Realized It Was A Huge Mistake

Anyone who has a heart can understand the pain that poor, homeless people experience. Without a roof over their heads nor any food to eat, when you see them begging for food, it can really tug at your heartstrings.

This is what happened to one American woman who, upon being asked by a beggar woman for her leftovers, felt obliged to give them to her. However, she noticed something about the woman that made her change her mind. What happened?

Lunching Out

In the busy city of California, Carmen Mendes found herself having lunch at a Raising Cane’s Fast Food Restaurant. For her, there was nothing extraordinary about the day.

She was there to eat something with her boyfriend and leave as they had a slew of things to do that day. However, while having lunch, someone got her attention.

A Cry For Help

While at the restaurant, Carmen couldn’t help but notice that there was a woman who was begging patrons for whatever remained of their meals when they had finished eating.

A Moment To Reflect

For Carmen, seeing that made her feel sad. She didn’t like to see people in unfortunate situations like the one that she was bearing witness to.

At the same time, it was also a time for her to reflect on her own life and to be thankful for the health and financial stability that she had.

A Keen Observer

Carmen watched as the beggar approached a young lady who was about to toss out her meal. Even if she didn’t know this woman, she related to her on a human level.

She couldn’t even fathom how embarrassed the woman must have felt to be going from person to person, begging for scraps. Then, she saw something that shook her to the core.
