Young Woman Invites A Homeless Man For A Meal And Company - Ends Up Saving His Life

#1

Casey Fischer shared her story on Facebook, and it’s gone viral with more than 120,000 shares. For good reason, too. For most people, when you go about your day and encounter a homeless person, we don’t take the time to interact and actually get to know what put that person in the situation they are in. Casey Fischer, on this particular day, was not like most people.

Chris proceeded to talk to Casey about things he probably hasn’t shared with anyone in a very long time. Like how he never knew his dad and how he lost his mom to cancer. He talked about being homeless, turning to drugs and living his life on the streets. And as Casey sat there and listened — after having already bought him something to eat and drink — Chris realized that there are still good people in this world. When Fischer had to go back to class, the homeless man, Chris, told her to wait, he wanted to hand her a note.

When she got in her car and opened up the crumbled piece of paper, she couldn’t believe what it said…

"I wanted to kill myself today because of u I now do not. Thank u, beautiful person."

It really takes simple gestures and kind actions that could make all the difference in saving one’s life.

Casey wrote on Facebook, "Today I went to Dunkin’ Donuts and saw a clearly homeless guy sitting on the side of the road and picking up change. Eventually I saw him stroll into Dunkin, as he was counting his change to buy something I began to get super annoying and talked to him over and over again even when he didn’t really want to talk."

She further added,"Since he had maybe $1 in change I bought him a coffee and bagel and asked him to sit down with me. He told me a lot about how people are usually very mean to him because he’s homeless, how drugs turned him into the person he hated, he lost his mom to cancer, he never knew his dad and he just wants to be someone his mom would be proud of (along with another hours worth of conversation.)"

She also wrote that,"This lovely mans name was Chris and Chris was one of the most honest & sincere people I’ve ever met. After realizing I really need to get back to class Chris asked me to wait so he can write something down for me. Handing me a crumpled up receipt he apologized for having shaky hand writing, smiled, and left. I opened his note and this was it: I wanted to kill myself today, because of u I now do not. Thank u, beautiful person."

Casey proves there are good people in the world. It must’ve been some kind of fate that brought her to Chris that day.
