  • Can you share any change?

  • Oh my gosh, did you just touch me?

  • Do you realize I have to wash this now?

  • Do you know how expensive that is?

  • Of course not, you wouldn't.

  • You're homeless.

  • Okay, I just can't today.

  • I cannot today!

  • Hey man, you didn't deserve that.

  • I wish I could give you more.

  • This is the most money I've gotten in weeks.

  • I'll be able to have lunch and dinner now.

  • God bless you, sir.

  • God bless you.

  • Take care.

  • Please, I have a doctor's appointment and I'm gonna be short for the bus.

  • Doctor's appointment?

  • Good one.

  • Like I believe that.

  • Great, I'm gonna miss my doctor's appointment.

  • That's great.

  • Here you go, ma'am.

  • Hopefully that'll get you where you're going and back.

  • God, you don't know what this means to me.

  • I hope your appointment goes well.

  • Thank you.

  • You're an angel.

  • Mom, what's taking so long?

  • I don't feel so good.

  • I know, sweetie, hold on.

  • Sorry, I had a rough one.

  • Um, what was the total again?

  • $9.84.

  • You don't happen to have a smaller box or something like that?

  • Come on, lady, can we move this line along?

  • Ma'am, if you can't pay, you have to step out of line so I can help the next customer.

  • I understand, it's just that my son really needs this medicine.

  • He's really, really sick.

  • Um, by any chance, can I borrow like a $5 bill?

  • Absolutely not.

  • Listen, can I just pay for this or what?

  • Otherwise, I have to go.

  • Yes.

  • But just keep the change, jeez.

  • Um, I'm sorry, baby, but I'm not going to be able to get your medicine right now, okay?

  • Then how am I going to feel better?

  • It'll be all right.

  • Here, this might help.

  • Are you sure?

  • I mean, yes, yes, it would.

  • But are you going to be able to pay for your food?

  • It's not a problem at all.

  • I have more than enough.

  • Please, take it.

  • Thank you.

  • Thank you so much.

  • It's my pleasure.

  • Hope you feel better, pal.

  • Thank you.

  • Thank you.

  • Here's your change.

  • Have a good one.

  • Okay.

  • Hey, look like you could use a meal.

  • No, you've already done so much for me.

  • I insist.

  • Take it.

  • It's yours.

  • But he must be hungry too.

  • It's okay.

  • I'll find more food.

  • I always do.

  • Hey.

  • I'm confused.

  • You said that you needed money for food, but then gave it to other people.

  • I'm sorry.

  • I hope you're not mad.

  • No, no, not at all.

  • I'm just curious why.

  • I mean, I may not have much, but there's always someone that has less than me.

  • I've always believed that the kindness you put out in the world has a way of coming back to you.

  • Oh, I like that.

  • I like that.

  • Oh, I'm Chris, by the way.

  • Oh, I'm Hank.

  • Not sure you want to shake my hand.

  • Oh, I don't mind.

  • Oh.

  • Nice to meet you, Hank.

  • You too.

  • I wish I had more cash to give you, so you could get some food.

  • Yeah, don't worry about me.

  • I'm fine.

  • And I'm glad that your $15 helped a whole lot of people.

  • Hank, I got you some food.

  • This nice man at the drive-through, he ordered me two burgers.

  • I figured I'll give you one, since you're always doing so nice things for me.

  • Thank you, Wendy.

  • See, Chris?

  • Told you I'd be fine.

  • I always figure it out.

  • It's good, too.

  • Did you want one?

  • Oh, no, thank you.

  • I appreciate it.

  • But, uh, I got somewhere to go.

  • Um, it was really great meeting you guys.

  • I'll see you around.

  • Nice meeting you, too, Chris.

  • Oh, this is good.

  • Thank you, Wendy.

  • Well, shall we eat?

  • Honey?

  • Oh, sorry, Mom.

  • I was just thinking about this homeless guy that I met.

  • He's a very nice man.

  • Oh.

  • Yeah, you wouldn't believe it.

  • I gave him $15 for food.

  • He probably only had a little bit of spare change to his name.

  • His clothes were dirty.

  • He probably didn't shower for a while.

  • And you know what he did?

  • He spent the money on other people.

  • Every last dollar.

  • I was shocked.

  • I mean, who would do such a thing?

  • Mom, are you okay?

  • Yeah, um, just something you said.

  • It, um, brought back some memories.

  • You helped someone?

  • Did the same thing?

  • No.

  • Someone helped me.

  • A homeless person helped you?

  • That doesn't make any sense.

  • I've never told you this, sweetheart.

  • But when you were very young, there was a point in time when we were homeless.

  • You see, my dream was always to start a family.

  • But your father, he never wanted children.

  • So when he found out I was having you, he said to give you up for adoption.

  • When I refused, when I refused, he decided to leave.

  • To make things even worse, after you were born and I needed to take time off from work, my job said they couldn't wait for me to come back.

  • They decided to let me go.

  • Eventually, I got behind on bills.

  • I wasn't able to keep up without any income.

  • So I had no choice but to sleep in the car.

  • I remember one day things got so bad,

  • I didn't know how we were going to eat.

  • But then a kind man helped us when I least expected.

  • And he continued to help day after day until I got back on my feet.

  • So you see, for a few months after you were born, we also were homeless.

  • Wow, Mom.

  • I can't believe you never told me this story.

  • Well, it was so very long ago.

  • And thankfully, our situation didn't last very long.

  • But it's just so sad to think that there's some people who can't escape it.

  • Especially knowing that there's such good people out there.

  • David, wait.

  • Oh, just throwing away the leftovers since no one usually eats them.

  • Did you want some more?

  • No.

  • I have a better idea.

  • Hank, you don't happen to have a dollar on you, do you?

  • I need water.

  • Oh, man, I had a dollar.

  • But I ended up giving it to this boy who really needed the help.

  • Sorry.

  • That's all right.

  • Chris, what are you doing back here?

  • Well, I told you you'd be seeing me soon.

  • This time I came prepared.

  • So I hope that helps.

  • No, you didn't have to do all of this.

  • Look what he bought us.

  • Exactly what I needed.

  • Thank you so much.

  • My pleasure.

  • Hey, Hank, there's somebody I'd love for you to meet.

  • My mom.

  • It's...

  • You!

  • You're the person that helped us when we were homeless.

  • I did?

  • He did?

  • Your name is Hank, right?

  • You don't understand what you did for me.

  • I was at the lowest point in my life.

  • And you helped me get through it.

  • Wow.

  • That makes me so happy to hear.

  • You know, I always love when I run into people that I've helped a long time ago and to see them do so well.

  • Well, to be honest,

  • I've come back multiple times looking for you.

  • I figured you'd left the street.

  • I...

  • I didn't realize you were still here.

  • Well, I haven't exactly had the best luck.

  • And at my age, it'd probably be a little too late for me right now.

  • There's not any extra food in there, is there, Hank?

  • Oh, yeah, sure.

  • Hold on.

  • You know, maybe you'd have better luck if you didn't give everything that you had away.

  • True.

  • But either way, I manage.

  • Thanks to nice people like you.

  • You know, why don't you come home with us?

  • We have lots of extra bedrooms at our place.

  • No.

  • I mean, thank you for the offer.

  • I mean, you've done more than enough.

  • And I don't want to be a burden to any of you.

  • I just want to be a part of your life.

  • I don't want to be a burden to anyone.

  • You aren't a burden.

  • I'm serious.

  • And it'll give me a chance to finally thank you for what you did for us.

  • That's a great idea.

  • I mean, come on, Hank.

  • I mean, you would be doing us a favor.

  • Yeah.

  • Besides, a wise man once told me, all the kindness that you put out in the world will always find a way to come back to you.

  • Well, since you put it that way.

  • Wonderful.

  • Come on, let's get out of the cold.

  • All right.

  • All right.
