Homeless Get $35,000 in Cash



DENVER (Dec. 26) - Residents of Samaritan House didn't know what to expect when the bearded, middle-aged man parked his sport utility vehicle in front of the downtown homeless shelter Christmas Eve.

The man walked into the building, pulled out a thick roll of $100 bills and began passing them out to each of the approximately 300 residents.

When he was finished, he had given out $35,000.

"It was like seeing Santa Claus and God all at once," said William Chengelis, who has lived at the shelter since November. "You hear about stuff like that but you don't think you'll be there when it happens."

As a crowd gathered, the man said he had once been homeless and knew what it was like to be in need. He did not identify himself and said only that he lived in Denver and had also distributed money at a Las Vegas shelter.

Possibly the man's biggest single donation was $5,000 to a family of six to find housing.


You Said It




Louis Quezada, Tessa Wittner and their four children had been living with Quezada's parents but were thrown out after an argument. They had been in the shelter several days.

"He asked if he gave us the money, would we get a house with it," said Quezeda, 23. "We said yes."

Well, thats good to hear....most of the "nouveau riches" are acting greedily and often don't want to deal with the people they shared the life with before they got wealthy.

random acts of kindness

Research shows that being on the receiving end of an act of kindness increases your serotonin levels. Serotonin is a chemical in the brain that is related to feeling good. Depression and headaches are linked to low levels of serotonin. By participating in situations that increase serotonin production you will lower your stress levels and increase your sense of peace and joy in your life.

The great news about acts of kindness is that it isn’t just the receiver who benefits. The person who delivers the act of kindness also benefits and it doesn’t stop there. Anyone who witnesses the act or later hears about it also benefits. The recipient doesn’t need to know the person who generated the act of kindness either.

Random acts of kindness could include things like paying the bridge toll for the motorist behind you, giving someone a kind word or bringing them an unexpected cup of coffee. It could mean letting someone into a line up ahead of you or letting them into traffic.

Whatever your choice, you feel better, they feel better and you cannot even begin to predict how many other people will be affected by your act. Add it to your must do list today. –
