Sometimes you meet people that just instantly pull at your heart strings. I picked up a couple from a shit hole motel in Fort Worth. She was nearly in tears. How much for the ride? I explained that I don't know etc etc. She was like I only have 13 dollars. I was like that should cover it.
They both get in the car. They are from Arizona. He had a job in Keller that fell through. Their car won't start. They pulled over into a Walmart parking lot to sleep. Wm called the cops. The police beat on the window. When he opened it. The cop reached in and turned the car off. They have a bad battery. After the cops determined that they were just sleeping, they let them go. But the car would not start.
During the ride they ate a lot of candy out of my bowl. I turned off the meter and pulled Into a whataburger. They were hungry. Bought 4 burritos and gave them to the couple. They were in tears.
Long story about why they did not have any money. I dropped them off at their car. I hope that they got a jump. I could not afford to do more. I myself am flat broke. But felt like that I needed to do something for these two.
So many people have helped me when I really needed it. Pay it forward even when it hurts to do so.
