7. This person found a note on their car from an unhoused individual after they stopped to chat with him:
"To a kind-hearted woman,
Hey, I just wanted to thank you again. It was really awesome of you to stop and talk to me, ask how I was doing, and check if I needed anything.
That made me feel good, made me feel like I was on the same level as everyone else, not like I’m garbage or undeserving of being treated like a person who’s not homeless and asking for change. It’s wild because I know it’s true, but when you’re out here on the streets, it’s crazy how much people can break you down just by being rude, acting like you’re a worthless bum who chooses to be homeless, or when they glare at you like you’re some kind of animal or freak when you smile at them.
I’m not giving you a sob story, I just wanted to let you know you’re one of the few people who treats me like an equal. Anyway, you should feel proud of yourself for being that way."

It’s a small poem that loosely translates to: 'The rain is falling gently, dull and light, someone should remind you how lovely you look today.'
I held on to it because it made me smile that day (over 10 years ago) and once again yesterday when I stumbled upon it among my old photos and cards."
