I moved to my current home in December of 2019 November 2019 I was technically homeless for 2 weeks my lease was up owner had sold the house, the new owner wasn’t renewing the lease, and had just expanded my business. I moved my family into a hotel and I stayed on my couch in my office… after 2 weeks found a new house moved in had great holidays and all. During Christmas I met the homeless man living in the alley behind my home, his name is Michael but I call him Mikey. The moment I met him my heart felt I had to help him he was just different not like any other homeless person I’ve encountered. Christmas Eve ‘19 I invited him over for dinner and he was shy and didn’t feel comfortable joining me and my family so I joined him in the alley and had great dinner together new years was raining and he was no where to be found. I find him a week later and come to find out he stays at a motel during the rainy days. Time goes on we become friends spend time with him daily sharing dinner during the rainy days I’d pay for his motel if he didn’t come around for a few days I’d get worried, and the last 3 weeks he hadn’t been around which was very out of character I was honestly getting very worried, today he knocked on my door to thank me and tell me that he is officially no longer homeless he has also reconnected with his family back east and he’s so thankful for the years of support and friendship 🥲 brought tears to my eyes and I’m beyond happy atm I almost don’t have words to express how happy my heart is
