Homeless Man Offers Rich Woman His Last $7 Because She Was in Need — Story of the Day

Richard fell in love with a wealthy woman and donated his last $7 to help her. But what future would they have when he was merely a homeless man?

Angela and her husband Edward ran a business together in Orlando, Florida. Angela used to be the head of the marketing team, and their business was booming.

However, everything fell apart one fateful day when she discovered he was cheating on her. Angela confronted Edward directly, but the man wasn’t ashamed of it and instead kicked her out of the company, leaving her bankrupt.

Having lost everything except a home which thankfully was registered on her name, Angela was wandering the streets one day, pondering where life would take her when she crossed paths with a homeless man named Richard.

He was a poor artist who aspired to become a famous painter even though up until now, the only places where his art had been displayed were either little eateries that couldn’t afford a grandiose display or the streets, where he sat every day seeking someone ready to pay a fair price for his work.

Clearly, luck had never been on his side all these years, and he’d been barely getting by on the money he’d made from his job.

Richard was arranging his paintings for a sale one evening when his attention was pulled to a woman crossing the street. She seemed to be in her thirties, and by her appearance, she appeared to be quite wealthy.

So Richard, who was shivering in the cold and looking for someone to buy one of his paintings so he could afford a meal, decided to approach her. “Excuse ma’am, Can you please buy something from my stall? I haven’t had food in a while, and it would be really kind of you if you could help me.”

He noticed the woman’s bright red eyes as she looked up. She appeared upset, and the puffiness under her eyes suggested that she’d cried a lot. “I’m sorry, but I can’t help you. Everything’s over…” She burst out crying.

Richard reasoned that perhaps something terrible had happened to her. So he gently inquired, “Could I please sit here, if you don’t mind? I know it’s none of my business, but maybe talking about it will make you feel better?”
