last night a stranger asked us to by him a bus ticket to his home. said he had no money, and it know if he never found shelter he would freeze. so we gave him the money. now I know we might have been sucked in to a sad story and he maybe lied to us....but maybe , just maybe we helped him make it through the night. I hope he truly found shelter and hope he is warm.

I too try to pay it forward when I can. I have sent boxes to those on the board and right now I have 2 more that I am trying to get a decent assortment of fabrics together for them. Also have been trying to make pillowwcases to send to a member here on the QB that makes it her mission to help the homeless and domestic violence.

I was at a sewing class and heard about a young single gal whose machine broke down. She had been laid off for a couple of months so did not have the money to buy a new or used one. I had a basic Janome that I gave her with some material to make a lap quilt and a snap pack.

It never hurts to help someone that is desperate enough to ask for help. If it is a scam, then the Lord will deal with it in his way and you have done a good thing in trying. My daughter told me, you should also ask the person his/her name, and then say it to them. It is very rare they are called by name. It helps them feel better too.
