Back onetime when it was safer to pick up hitch hikers I picked up this old harmless looking man, it was raining and he was soaked. I could tell he had been on the road a long time.
He ask me for a few bucks to buy something to eat, because he hadn't ate for 3 days.
I said I'll do you one better,as I was on my way home from work, I took him to my house and supper was on the table and he had a good home cooked meal. while he was eating a supper that was intended for me . I called the local Salvation Army and made arrangements for him to stay somewhere and get cleaned up and such.
I then drove him to a pickup point where a community service volunteer took him to that destination.
You would have thought I gave him a million bucks he had no idea what to do and probably have slept in someones barn if I hadn't stopped.
That was 30 years ago I often wonder of his outcome.
Today there will not be anything like that happen again because of the way life has changed.
