Begging Homeless Girl Gives Her Food to Blind Old Lady and Receives a House From Her the Next Day — Story of the Day

A homeless lady gets tested by a blind old woman and is rewarded with a place to live in when she passes — most people would have failed the challenge.

Karen Dunberry had the loveliest voice you could ever hear in one lifetime. It’s not an exaggeration, her voice was indeed all of that, and if she ever found someone to help her nurture her talent and introduce her to people with means, she could be a star.

Alas, Karen was a poor young woman who grew up as an orphan after her parents abandoned her in front of a nunnery. The sisters at the abbey had taken her in, as they did all the children left at their doorstep, and raised her with morally upright teachings and as much love as they could give.

Despite the hospitality, Karen left at the age of 18 to make a life for herself outside biblical scriptures and holy rituals. It has been two years since she left the abbey, but Karen still lived from hand to mouth because she had no real qualifications for a suitable job.

The only thing she really excelled at was using her voice, so that’s what she did. At 20, her voice had matured into a young lady’s, and when she opened her mouth to sing, people would listen and tip her with money.

The singing earned her enough to get by on a daily basis, but she wished for more. One day she walked to a new street and found a small perch by the waterfall.

It was a fine morning, so she began to sing one of the more lively hymns from the conversation she grew up in, attracting many people, Catholics and non-Catholics alike.

They enjoyed the music and were touched to leave the poor lady something for her efforts. That day she received almost 10 dollars, so she bought some tea and one juicy chicken sandwich.

It was her first real food in a day and her mouth watered as she settled to feast on it. The sandwich was halfway to her mouth when she heard a huff beside her.

Karen had been so focused on the food; she had not noticed a woman and her dog walk up to her. “Can I help you?” she asked dryly, annoyed by the distraction.
