Homeless Man Asks For Hand Out... Gets A Hand Up Instead.

#1 A Homeless Man Walks Into A Cafe Looking For Spare Change Or Some Food.

Marcus entered Abi's Cafe, a Minneapolis-based cafe, hoping for just enough to get by for the next few hours so that he didn't have to resort to stealing again. He met Cesia Abigail, the owner of the cafe. who turned out to be his guardian angel. Instead of tossing him out of her restaurant or just handing him some change she asked him some very vital questions.

#2 "Why Don't You Have A Job?"

We've all looked at the homeless and wondered why they are living on the streets. Cesia got this response from Marcus: "Well, I have a lot of felonies and no one wants to hire me for that, so now I had to turn myself to the streets and get money the only way I know, stealing and asking for money."

#3 This Is What Happened In Her Own Words.

#4 Of Course There's Been A lot Of Judgment On The Matter.

Cesia had hired a homeless felon that openly admits to begging, stealing and owns up to being an addict. However, as soon as Marcus began working, Abigail gave him a sandwich. Without hesitation, he wrapped it in tin foil and ran it outside to another homeless person. He buys his own food as soon as his shift is over and is desperately trying to take this opportunity to raise himself up out of his dark past. He's been consistently on time for his two-hour shift, and he's since been given a permanent position. Together, Marcus and Cesia save ten percent out of every paycheck to try help educate Marcus on saving.
