Giving a Homeless Family a New Home for Christmas!

Check out PART II on getting Ann into her new apartment:
kzread.info/dash/bejne/nHqeyJSRf9qdntI.html
A homeless woman caught a guy trying to steal my bike. So I invited her and her son over for Christmas.
A couple months ago I came outside and found a homeless woman named Ann on my stoop next to where I park my Vespa. We talked for a bit and I told her that there is a child with special needs in the building and I would appreciate it if she didn't hang out there. She totally understood. Whenever I’d see her on my neighbor’s stoop she says hi. A few nights later when she was asleep on my neighbor's stoop she caught a guy trying to steal my Vespa. She chased the dude off.
Ann is a single mother who lost her home to medical debt. Her son has been in foster care while she sleeps on the street so that she can finish her treatment. So I was surprised last week when she told me they were getting off the streets and into a new apartment. I asked her what I could get her for her unfurnished apartment. She said, "Nothing for me, I just wish I could give my son a real Christmas." I didn't know what to do so I told her, "Have your son write a letter to Santa. I'll make sure he gets it." He wrote: "Dear santa if u can save mommy and don't let her die I don't want any gifts. That's what I want most. After that I want clothing and food for me and mamma. A scooter, tv, video games for learning, hatchimal, gloves scarf and hat set and mommy to get off her meds and never have to feel sick or sad again." How could I not get a scooter for the guy whose mom saved mine from getting stolen?
Merry Christmas, Anthony. You'll be able to start the New Year with your mom and help her get better. Santa is furnishing your new apartment. I hope you like Star Wars sheets and don't mind eating mac and cheese a couple nights a week. Thanks for being tough for your mamma. Tough guys ride tough bikes.

    Being a single mom and having been homeless with a two year old son, warms my heart to see this clip. I used to take 6 buses a day in all sorts of weather to take my son to day care and back home. Finally moved across town to an apt that had mice. So, when I look at this mom and her adorable son, I almost have faith in mankind. thank Gd my son is a wonderful young family man with a kind and generous heart although he and his wife have numerous challenges. Am so happy when I am able thank Gd to help them. Happy and safe holidays everyone.

    @@atrumphasmatis6719 sister, I’ve worked in child welfare. I am glad the kid got a great Christmas, but the way she told her story was obviously not true. There is helping people and getting scammed, and then there is just naive. Street smarts is not a bad thing. Again, I am glad for the child, but now he is filled with false hope that he will be back with his mother. She needs stable income as well. She needs to be clean, but how is she supposed to get clean if she doesn’t hit a rock bottom? They should have just stuck with getting the kid gifts.

Constantly looking out to make sure someone isn’t scamming you blinds you to the people who really needs and deserves help. Even drug addicts deserve help and hope. What would the world be like if everyone felt that just because she’s an addict she deserves nothing. You don’t KNOW anything about this woman except what you heard on the video and what you ASSUME.

    Once a friend sent her children's old clothes to my niece . They were so excited & happy you would have thought they were brand new. When children don't have a lot they can be extremely grateful. As a teacher I was talking to the guidance counselor. She told me about a new immigrant mother, her 5 year old son & their situation. I spoke to his teacher & My husband & I went shopping & wrapped a million Christmas gifts. When we bought them to her house to put under the tree, she broke down & cried. Welcome to the real America! Glad you are here!
