I found my better place

Years and years ago I was a young lady with no direction and path. I used to squeegee on Robie and Quinpool and panhandle in various spots all over the city, I have had some very kind and generous people step out of the mix and be very generous with me, a complete stranger, and in many ways give me hope. I just need to send out the most heartfelt thank you to everyone who helped me. It’s almost 7 years later and I found my way. I have a happy home and life, I work hard and help others when I can. I feel very fulfilled and I constantly reflect on the people who put an arm around a young street girl and showed her kindness. I hope your karma found its way back to you and all of you are finding blessings in your life today. You changed my life and helped me obtain something I never thought I would have for myself, a home. Merry Christmas. —Karma’s Benefactor
