When I first saw this giveaway of random act of kindness , there's only one thing that comes to my mind and I will share it to all of you.
When I was still working on Ayala Makati, there's an old lady that I always saw when I am on my way home. She's living near McDonalds Boni MRT Station. I dont know the whole story why she's in that area or why she's homeless but Im sure that spot near Mcdonalds was the place where she sleeps.
I am curious about this old lady but I am not comfortable asking her about her life. That time I asked myself if that old lady has a family and if she has a family, how her family abandoned her. I saw a lot of homeless people around Metro Manila but this old lady was different from them. Every morning she's always smiling to me when I go on my way to office and also everytime that I pass by to her.
One day, its pay day and I bought some foods on McDonalds , I always do that everytime I have a spare on my salary. I give her the food that I bought and I am so overwhelmed when she said thank you to me with the sweetness smile. I am so weak when it comes to that. I already leave that place and tears fell down on my eyes because I have thoughts again on my mind. How the family of that old lady abandoned her.
From the time that I give her food, I always do it every other time. When I rendering overtime and I felt starved while commuting, I will buy a buy one take one burger and I eat one of it and I gave her the other one. Every pay day I buy her food and every time I eat on Boni.
I dont know if that old lady is still at that place but hopefully she's safe now.

How sad it is that in your golden years you don't even have a roof to cover yourself, or a family that loves you and takes care of you. What a nice gesture to buy food for the old woman, she will be grateful to you for the rest of her life.
