I don’t think of myself as a do-gooder, but I do have to admit that I love helping others.
I think that was instilled in me by my grandparents.
Grandma was always out helping others and my grandfather would stop to help anyone who was broken down along the side of the road. I went to the auto parts store the other day. A friend of mine was broken down in the parking lot and he knew it was his alternator. I went to the auto parts store and got the alternator. I even helped him to install it. In return, a couple days later, he was helping me out. I run a homeless shelter. We have people coming and going all of the time. We serve three meals a day and we have a daycare center in case someone is trying to look for a job. We also have family rooms and a large dormitory full of beds. There is heating and air conditioning to keep our residents comfortable. I got to the shelter the other morning and the air conditioning wasn’t working. I had to get the AC fixed, but I couldn’t afford it. I called my friend and asked him to help me solicit everyone and get us some help. We ended up with three large window air conditioners and enough money to be able to fix the air conditioning unit.. We also had several donations of food that gave us enough food to feed five hundred people for a full month. I know that all of our regular residents were grateful for the air conditioning and the food
