Woman Buys Homeless Man Meal, Gets Handed Shocking Note (Photo)

A young woman was going to get a cup of coffee when she saw a homeless man and decided to do buy him a meal to help out. What happened afterwards left the student in shock.

According to Mad World News, Casey Fischer went to Dunkin Donuts one morning to get her daily cup of coffee before heading to class at her college in New Hampshire when she spotted a homeless man sitting outside. 

Fischer decided to do something nice, seeing that the man was clearly in need of something to eat. She bought him a coffee and bagel and walked back outside to give it to him.

Fischer wrote a Facebook post about the incident, in which she explains what the homeless man revealed to her after she bought him a meal.

The post reads:

“Today I went to Dunkin and saw a clearly homeless guy singing on the side of the road and picking up change. Eventually I saw him stroll into Dunkin, as he was counting his change to buy something I began to get super annoying and talk to him over and over again even when he didn’t really want to talk. Since he had maybe $1 in change I bought him a coffee and bagel and asked him to sit down with me. He told me a lot about how people are usually very mean to him because he’s homeless, how drugs turned him into the person he hated, he lost his mom to cancer, he never knew his dad and he just wants to be someone his mom would be proud of (along with another hours worth of conversation.) this lovely mans name was Chris and Chris was one of the most honest & sincere people I’ve ever met. After realizing I really need to get back to class Chris asked me to wait so he can write something down for me. Handing me a crumpled up receipt he apologizes for having shaky hand writing, smiled, and left. I opened his note and this was it. “I wanted to kill myself today because of u I now do not. Thank u, beautiful person.”

The touching post, which was accompanied by a photo of the note the man handed Fischer, quickly went viral. The story has been shared more than 100,000 times since being shared.

Facebook users shared their thoughts in the post’s comment section.
