When Greg Smith frequently encountered a homeless woman, who greeted him with a warm “good morning” and well wishes without ever asking for anything, he felt compelled to act. He decided to share his lunch with her every Tuesday.
As their friendship blossomed, Amy revealed a heartbreaking truth: she was unable to read. While Greg had the support of loving parents, Amy Joe had faced significant hardships throughout her life. This revelation inspired Greg not only to continue sharing meals but also to teach her how to read.
Greg sought no recognition for his efforts; he simply wanted to make a positive impact on Amy’s life and motivate others to assist the homeless in their communities. His kindness extended beyond lunch; he took Amy grocery shopping, helped her buy new clothes, treated her to a stylish haircut, and even arranged for her to stay in a hotel.
The moment Amy realized Greg was taking her to a hotel room, she was drowning in a pool of happiness and sincere gratitude to her benefactor, gasping and crying at the unexpected kindness.
It becomes truly inspiring when people do things from a very selfless point, seeking no recognition nor feeling entitled to anything.
