Struck by an old woman

Last Saturday, one of my workmates invited me to be in her birthday which was held in one of our city’s beach resorts. As we kept on talking on the other cottage with my other workmate as well, I noticed an old woman eating alone. Upon seeing her, my hearts seems broke into pieces. The food she ate was given by the people accommodating the beach. After eating she passed by our cottage then we asked her if she’s done eating. Then the old woman replied that she did and she’s totally full. Of course we are happy hearing it, however as we asked her where she live and where are her daughters or sons she told us that she has only two daughters. One is married while the other is ill. She told us as well that she was trying to stray because she’s hoping that someone could give her a little help to buy for her medicines. After hearing about it, I never hesitated to give her a little help. Though I gave her only what I can afford, I know it would mean to her a lot and at least though it’s really not that big amount of money at least it comes from my heart. Old women deserve to have a great place to live, relax and be served, instead of letting them stray and ask alms for others to live
