Today, I went to the grocery store to buy a few items. I was approached by a woman with two kids asking if I could buy them some food. I only had a certain amount of funds with me at the moment so I told her I could only get her certain items. She was thankful and said she would wait outside. On the way out, I noticed that her daughter asked another person for food and she was brushed away.

Items that I wanted I put back and decided to give to her instead. The checkout line was long. By the time I went outside, she wasn’t there. I asked the florist if she noticed a woman with kids and she said that she knew them personally. She said the mother felt such shame asking for food. She was a good person but was in need. I asked where they went and she said security made them leave because they were basically loitering. Begging for food.

Security told them they couldn’t be in that area doing that. I went looking for them. But they weren’t around. It makes me sad. I hope they were able to get food to eat tonight. I hope to see them again. ❤️
