Months after Helping a Homeless Man Who Lost His Memory, Waitress Becomes a Millionaire – Story of the Day
|When a homeless man saved her from an accident, Amanda invited him to dinner at her house. After hearing his story, she offered him shelter for longer. But then, they stumbled upon someone who recognized him and discovered a shocking truth.
“Careful!” Amanda heard a loud yell and was pushed off the road by a pair of strong arms. She was tired from her daily shift as a waitress at the local seafood restaurant. The work was challenging, but at least it was better than retail.
Unfortunately, she was so lost in thought that she started crossing the road during a green light. However, a good Samaritan was standing nearby and saved her.

She turned around and looked up at the man. He was familiar, and Amanda realized he was the homeless man who often hung around the area. He never came to her restaurant, but she had seen him wandering around during her short smoke breaks. His clothes were in tatters, his beard was overgrown and dirty, and his eyes seemed sad.
“Thank you, sir. I lost my mind for a second and didn’t realize where I was going,” Amanda told him, grateful for his help. The man nodded, mumbled an imperceptible “you’re welcome,” and started to walk away.
Amanda looked at his retreating back for a second and called him back. She invited him over to her house for dinner. She wouldn’t do something like that usually, but her son was staying at a friend’s house tonight, and this man deserved a nice hot meal, especially after his heroic actions.
Surprisingly, the man rejected the offer, but Amanda didn’t take no for an answer. She insisted and refused to let him walk away until he agreed. Finally, he relented, and she led the way to her house. When they arrived, Amanda decided that a meal was not enough.
She went into her room and gathered a few clothes that belonged to her late father. They were old but clean and in excellent condition.
“Listen, why don’t you take a shower. It’ll make you feel so much better. Here are some clothes, and the bathroom is stocked with everything you could need,” Amanda said, handing him the clothes and almost pushing him into the bathroom. “Oh! Wait a minute. I don’t even know your name.”
