RE: Helping Strangers, the Good and the Perils - A True Story

in #life8 years ago

I was in a situation like this:

One afternoon I just took my daughter from the nursery and we started walking to home. At the street a women stopped us and asked if I can speak english. I thought she is a tourist who need some help to find a museum or something like that, so we started talking.

After 2 minutes she switched to Hungarian and told me she has diabetes. She is on her way to the hospital for some kind of treatment, but she needs to eat something asap because she has low blood sugar. She had a lot of excuses why she don't have money and she kept telling me nobody helps her, and I am the only one who can help her out.

At this point I was pretty sure she is lying, but I wanted to do the right think so I gave her some money. I also wanted to care this situation nicely and show that we need to help each other to my daughter.

Everything changes when we're with our daughters!
