Title: Black man approached me, told him I don't carry cash but later on I gave him as
Post by: theking on April 20, 2022, 04:34:08 PM: ...much cash as I have on hand.

Initially I told him I don't carry any cash because that was the truth, no cash in my wallet. I talked to him for a bit and he shared with me why he's in the predicament he's in and I told him I believe him and can sympathize as hardship hit me and my family pretty hard back in Laos too. Dude doesn't even know what Hmong is until that point.. ;D. I also shared some info with him regarding what my crew does to help the less fortunate..

As I was leaving, I remembered I have some change in my Taco's ashtray so I pulled up to him and grab a fist full of coins and gave it to him....not much, probably around $4-5 bucks worth and he thanked me as we parted ways:

Thanks.

Usually when it comes to "organization", I rather donate my time and other resources rather than straight up money...becaus e there's no telling how much of that fund actually make it to the recipients.
