$100 Site Donor 2024
My Wife typically makes holiday/ Christmas gifts for people that might benefit from the gifts. Typically it has been gifts to people in nursing homes. This year, she read of a program using shoe boxes as a container to make gifts for children. One can pick boys or girls, my Wife picked girls as we only have grandsons so made her feel connected.... beats me but she is a good person..... guess she wishes she had granddaughters.
We can deliver the gifts between 1000-1200 yesterday, at a church off the beaten path in Heber City, UT. As we pull in, we see a older gentleman (our ages) in a older Dodge van, with a sign saying needing gas, in the church parking lot. He was perfectly positioned at a "choke point" so one had to see his sign his van, and him to enter the church parking lot. Even his gas can was perfectly staged.
Of course, my gut is to help. And my day job forces me to ask- how is positioned in the parking lot at a perfect placement of a off the beaten path church during a Christmas gift donation activity. My Wife runs in the church and drops off the gifts. As we leave the parking lot, I see the gentleman again... and noticed his van is idling.
Decided to pass on a gas donation. If I felt he was in real need, I would of assisted. I sensed he was good at what he was doing, and if so did not need our assistance of cash or gas....
