Every Week, He Eats Lunch With This Homeless Woman. Then He Realizes How She Uses Her Money

#1 Meet Greg Smith

Greg Smith is the founder of Hybrid Athletes, a professional fitness training organization in Orlando, Florida. Greg wears a suit to work everyday and is approached by many people asking for money, in Downtown Orlando. There is one person, in particular, who Greg always notices. This is because she's different. She never asks for money. She just makes eye with Greg, smiles, and says, "Good morning Sir, have a great day. God Bless!"

#2 Meet Amy Joe

Amy Joe is the homeless woman who smiles at Greg, but never asks for money. He began to take her to lunch once a week. Amy is an extremely positive person, even though she has very little. This past week, Amy admitted to Greg the reason she is homeless is not because she smokes or drinks or has a drug addiction. She cannot find a job, because she cannot read. Any money she receives, she uses to borrow books from the library. So now on their weekly lunch date, Greg rents a book from the library, and they read together. He then lets her hold onto the book, so she can practice on her own, throughout the week. If you're as fortunate at Greg, always remember, something, even as simple as a smile, could really brighten up someone's day. And someone like Amy Joe, can change your life just ask much as you can change theirs!

This post is in no way to make anyone feel sorry for Amy Joe or brag about me doing something for someone less fortunate. I wanted to share this because maybe this can lead to someone helping another person. There are a lot of people out there like Amy Joe, not all are hungry, homeless, or hurt. Some could be your family or friends. Helping someone could be as easy as saying hello and smiling. I have been fortunate enough in my finances that I can take care of Amy Joe, so that's what I'm going to do.

If this is something that hit home with you, Like & Share itif not, that's okay too. But you never know what you can do for someone until you try. Who is your Amy Joe?!?!?

It's heartwarming to see people go above and beyond for others in need. I love what Greg is doing for Amy Joe. It's inspiring!

I wear a suit to work everyday so I get asked a lot for money quite often downtownbut never once from Amy Joe. Every Tuesday Amy Joe and I now have Lunch together. For 30 min to an hour I get to hear how positive she is even though she really has nothing. Last week Amy Joe kind of dropped a bomb on meshe cannot read. Amy Joe does not smoke, drink, have a drug addiction, or anything to that nature. She simply just has never had anyone teach her how to read. She told me how hard it was for her to find work not being able to read. She began to tell me any money that she can collect she uses to check out library books that help with learning to read instead of buying FOOD.
