Fired for Kindness, Hired for Impact

I just lost my job for giving away a $12 meal, but what happened next changed my

entire life. I worked the morning shift at Romano's Diner. One freezing Tuesday,

a homeless woman came in asking for water. She looked exhausted, shivering in a torn

jacket. I brought her water, then quietly brought soup and bread. She paid for it

herself later, or so she planned. My manager caught her on camera. He fired me on the

spot. No second chances. Company policy is company policy, he said coldly.

I gathered my things, fighting back tears. Six years of perfect attendance meant nothing.

What I didn't know was that a man in the corner booth had been watching everything unfold.
