The homeless man shared his cardboard

I guess to be completely fair he has a home. or at least the place he sleeps at night is in the same place. he has a cart that holds all his belongings...including his cardboard. he roles his cart up to the closed furniture shop every night. pushes and pulls his car until its square to the wall...giving him and his wife some privacy than he strategically uses pieces of cardboard to completely enclose this concrete corner. erin, the one who started this out reach about a year ago has known the family for some time now and as always when white people travel in number we attract attention. so as we rounded up the faithful kids to come and sit in front of this shop the man pulled out a long piece of his cardboard and pushed it until it was under all of our feet. we wouldnt be sitting on the hard ground tonight. the man retreated back into his fortress but every now and again we would see his head pop up as he listened in on our lesson for the kids.
it amazes me that no matter where we go, those who have nothing still give. i have a feeling that this man lending us a piece of cardboard was a little more of a big deal than anyone in america could imagine. here in the philippines everything you find on the streets you can sell. it serves as a way of surviving, a way of life. i appreciated that mans sacrifice more and more as the night went on. card board isnt really that bad...
