Ever since I was young, I always wanted to help those who are truly in need, especially the old homeless ones that I'm seeing on the streets. It's just so heartbreaking seeing them struggling and still grinding despite their very old age. Then I told myself, once I become capable of giving help, I would really help them. And if I won a lottery, I would donate to charities and help the less fortunate ones. That's how little Jane thinks. But because of Bitcoin Cash, I felt like I am more capable of giving help now, may it be small or big.
Following my 12 Days Of Christmas BCH Gift-Giving, I opted to share my blessings, not only with this community but in the real world as well. Unfortunately, my plan about converting my BCH to fiat failed, as using the P2P merchants on Binance needs an HK bank account in which I don't have. So this left me no choice but to use my own money.
On December 25th, since our plan to visit the winter wonderland was canceled, I opted to buy things for my beneficiary and look for her on the street. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to find her that day, so I just kept the gifts and would just give them to her once I saw her on the street.
While spending my Christmas day on the street, I realized how lucky I am compared to others. Some are jobless, some are homeless, some are sick, and some are being abandoned by their families. .
If there is something I learned from this year, that is to appreciate every small thing we received from others and God and eliminate the non valuable things, just like what PVM said to me before. And no matter what people say something bad about me, I should remain positive and shrug off the negatives. I've been through a lot this year and I don't want to deal with the negativity anymore.
December 26 was spent with my friend so I didn't look for my beneficiary on the street. And on December 27, I really felt worried about her as the weather was so cold. And even me who's inside the house feel cold as well, how much more those on the street.
I had a chance to go to the market so I brought the pack of gifts with me, hoping to see her on the street. I started to look for her at the 7/11 branch where she usually stays, then around the wet market. The last part was behind the mall where her small tent was located.
From the distance, I spotted an old woman wearing a jacket that looked familiar to me, and my heartbeat raced so fast. I was certain that it was her. She was outside her tent picking up things.
Look at her condition, she already has a hunchback but she's still pushing a cart to collect cartons on the street, just so she could have money to buy her food.
Her tent is just so small, how can she sleep inside? It's heartbreaking. I guess she's sitting while sleeping as she can't even make her body straight or get up once she lays down. I peeked inside her tent and there was no mat on the ground. It must be so cold for her at night.
I don't know what to do at first, or what to say as she doesn't understand English, and I can't speak Chinese. And she noticed me standing behind her so I talked and I gave her the pack of gifts.
She was hesitant at first and gave back the plastic bag to me. But then I insisted and put down the plastic bag on her small chair. And she looked so happy while checking the stuff inside.
She was curious about the red-colored stuff inside, so I took it out and told her that it was a jacket while pointing to the one she's wearing. She thought that it wouldn't fit her as I chose the kid-size. But I helped her remove her jacket so I could wear the new one on her.
I was glad that the jacket fits her and she seemed to like it as it was thicker and more comfortable than her old jacket.
I also took out the gloves and put them on her hands, and showed her the pair of socks which she liked. One thing I noticed was, she had difficulty putting on her jacket by herself, because of her body condition.
She was still wearing the same jacket from the day I saw her sleeping outside the 7/11 store. You can check it in the photos above.
I hope she's happy now that she has a new one, and a pair of gloves so her hands won't feel too cold anymore. That would also protect her hands from getting wounded in pushing the cart or picking up the boxes on the street.
Some people think they aren't capable of helping others. We are all capable. Helping makes us connect with others and feel happier and blessed. Isn't it overwhelming when you see others smiling because of your good deeds? Now, think of what you can do. And don't hesitate to lend a helping hand, especially those who are badly in need.
Your generosity is highly appreciated po. Truly, everyone can be capable of helping others. We just have to open up our hearts and do the action. May God bless you po always!
It is really sad seeing the condition the old woman is living, I wonder if she has no relatives or someone to take care of her. She's quite lucky that there's someone like you around that offered her help, it's a very kind gesture from you ate Jane
I'm really touched by your act of generosity. I hope to do more giving especially in this coming new year. I have been also a beneficiary of the wonderful people on this platform that give without any strings attached.
You are so kind and generous. I know God is looking to our deeds and he will bless us according to our actions. Merry Christmas and happy new year to you!

Meron sa mga homeless ata... But I don't know kung kasama yan sla.
May shelter for homeless dn, pero mag gusto pa ng iba tumira sa daan kesa tumira sa parang kulungan..at siksikan sla sa loon ng maliit na lugar.
Not everyone can help in all situations but everyone should at least have the heart of help. You might not have the capacity to help but you might have the right words to say, or the right person to call, or tools to offer, or what to give among many others.
The beauty of help is that; when you help others in times of need, you have set the universe to station others to help you when you are in need.
Above all, divine help differs from earthly help because the divine attracts divine or supernatural results while earthly help brings about earthly measures to ease human effort naturally.
It pays to be a helpmeet to others... Golden rules apply!
My heart is in pain to see her condition but I am glad at the same time, the way you helped her by providing warm clothes. She must be happy to receive it. Your reward is in Almighty's hand.
You’re a very good soul the world needs keep doing the good work you’ve been doing more blessings will come. If I also have I’ve have give because a lots of people are suffering for needs. Thanks you’ve done this for the old woman.
Thank you, Ms Jane. I also do that but secretly. It was a heartache seeing those people on the street really surviving the cold and hunger. When I see some people like them I cant help but question myself, Am I will be in that situation when I will grow old? Really such a huge kind heart of yours. God bless you more.
