She Gave A Homeless Woman Food, Then Noticed Something Didn't "Feel Right"
When a homeless woman quietly and politely asked permission to eat leftover food that was destined for the garbage bin, her pleas were ignored until something wonderful happened.
She Just Wanted To Eat
Carmen Mendez was eating at a Raising Cane's fast food restaurant in California when she noticed a homeless woman asking fellow diners if she could eat their leftovers. They completely ignored her and purposely tossed their uneaten food in the trash bin right before her eyes.
As Carmen noted on her Facebook profile:
"Not one person said yes, they all ignored her and threw it away, it broke my heart."
This traumatic experience left the woman feeling hurt and still very hungry.
It's Not A Sin To Be In Need
Being homeless is not a sin. But many people treat the homeless as if they've personally done the world a great deal of wrong. All judgement's aside, this homeless lady just wanted some food to keep the hunger at bay and survive another day.
Thankfully, Carmen had been volunteering with the homeless for many years, and knew their struggles were real, whether due to unlucky circumstances, addictions, or mental illness.
"They don't repulse me or make me sick to my stomach. I hold them all with so much love."
And it was Carmen's love that began the prelude to this fateful night.
The Face Of An Angel
The face of hope is sometimes disguised, but this homeless woman would soon discover it waiting for her within Carmen's generous soul.
A Withered Chicken Finger And Five Lonely Fries
Carmen was sad knowing that the poor woman went through rejection all night while searching for a warm meal. She told her boyfriend that if she saw the woman again, she would definitely give her their leftovers. Carmen anxiously scanned the restaurant as she was getting ready to leave.
"As I was gonna throw away my one leftover chicken strip and like 5 fries I heard a very quite voice ask me if I had anything left."
She happily gave the woman her leftovers, but something still didn't feel quite right.
She Deserved Better
Carmen felt like a horrible human being for feeding the woman her meager leftovers.
"So I bought her a whole meal. She deserved a hot meal."
As Carmen was ordering the meal, she could see the disgust that customers directed toward the homeless woman for daring to sit down in a restaurant. But Carmen made sure the wait staff did not toss her out as the meal was being prepared.
The Tears She Shed Were Felt Deep
When Carmen surprised the woman with the fresh and hot meal, she didn't know that her boyfriend Fred had captured the heartfelt moment. You can almost feel the thanks the homeless woman is giving to Carmen in the hug captured by Fred.
"The look on her face said it all. I have never felt something like this...pure, real gratitude."
It is a moment Carmen says she will never, ever forget. I'm sure the homeless woman will always remember this moment as well.
Raising Cane's To The Rescue
As a bonus happy ending to this story, Raising Cane's in Costa Mesa offered an generous donation to the homeless community. With a huge stack of gift cards, Carmen is now able to give the gift of a hot meal to those in need. But she's not going to let the opportunity to interact with the homeless end there.
"With these gift cards not only will I be able to pass them out so they can have a meal I will also be able to talk to them and see what else they need..help them find a local shelter if they are willing to accept that help."
With her experience over the years working with the homeless, I'm sure they'll gladly accept Carmen's help.
Show Your Generosity
As this story shows, it doesn't hurt to think twice the next time you judge a homeless person. An act of kindness goes a long way in helping those who aren't always able to help themselves.

It means a lot. Thank You :)
More people should be like this lady. Our Lord never turned his back to anyone in need! We should walk in his steps!
Kristy * 3
I'm sure there are a lot of people just like this woman, they just don't post it to show everyone.
Amen
Ah yes, the same Lord that doesn't stop people from suffering? Nice.
Kristy * so true 👍👍
This is heartwarming story! More people should do this! I do what I can for homeless people where I live when I can!
Carmen ur a ANGEL....THANK U for being so KIND!!!!
Carmen, you are a beautiful human being and to the vile people who treated the poor homeless woman with disgust, shame on you. Just remember no one knows what's round the corner for them selves or loved ones. I'm not religious, but aren't we all from the family. Human kind, KIND being the operative word.
Sitting crying watching this! There need to be more people like this in the world!
Kristina Jockel you don't have to cry dear. You gotta stand for those who are destitute.
All it takes is initiative Kristina. Just do something to help. It doesn't take a major operation to do a simple thing like help in the minute. The next time you see a person in need, and you feel as if you can solve the immediate problem... help them out with a few bucks, or maybe a meal at mcdonalds. That's what I do and I love doing it. I have been poor in the past and have been homeless. It sucks. Helping others is God's work!
There are😇my daughter is forever giving her lunch to the hungry😋time again someone will notice and often buy her another lunch...good peeps
Love, caring about other is always the right thing to do, God Bless you Carmen for all you do.
What a beautiful soul!!
Thank you so much, dear Carmen !!! You're an angel ! 👼👼👼👼👼👼👼
Life is getting too tough for everybody ! Thank you for caring. 👍
Carmen is such a sweet lady for doing something that nice remember any of us could be homeless at any time.
You are an Angel,Carmen, you may not know it yet, but you are here for a reason. Besides protecting, feeding and hugging this Woman you listen to her! So often it is the exchange with another person that is needed almost as food! Someone to listen and also tell them a story about a special day. This was a very special for both of you. God Bless You!
You treat people the way you want to be treated!.?? What if one of your family members were homeless!??. you don't want somebody to feed them wouldnt you!?? God will bless Carmen 🙏🙏
My Father was homeless for a few years ( he had left and I had no clue where he was or how he was doing) I pray people were kinder to him than they were this woman. ( I did help him when I found out)
This story hits home for me. Back in 1999-2001, I was homeless as well, on the streets in NYC. Not of my own doing but by a judge who said I had to turn over almost my entire paycheck to my cheating wife during our separation, I was left with 29 dollars a week. I never begged for anything, my pride wouldn’t allow it no matter how hungry I was. I slept in a coffee house in the winter until 10 pm, that was closing time. I would then try to find a spot where I couldn’t be seen easily, if you have ever been homeless then you know why. I continued working and continued the payments. After 3 years of this my ex-wife’s mother called me and asked how I was getting along, I told her the truth and she immediately said to come live with her...I couldn’t have asked for a better outcome. With a warm place to sleep and regular showers and food, I was becoming a man again. Being homeless breaks your spirit and will to live, many times I thought of ending it all, but my faith in God kept me going. I will never forget those 3 years of being homeless, I don’t wish it on anyone, it’s one of the worst things that could happen to a person. 🙁
Charles Fontanello OMG! I totally understand! NYC is so damn expensive. I know cause I live here. Many judges don't care how a middle-class man is supposed to survive after paying child support every week 😩 I'm so happy to hear your ex mother-in-law took you in. I pray you are doing much better now. May God always watch over you!
Elena Arman-Tang Thank You for your kind words, but actually my health is deteriorating, I have something called PSP on the order of Parkinson’s but much more progressive. I was given 3-5 years so far I’m in Year 6 and August will make 7 years, there’s no cure just a ton of meds to slow down the tremors and pain. Eventually it will win out but I’m not going out without a fight. Being born and raised in the Bronx, fighting is one thing we all do very well. 😊. I’m not sad about it, I just accept the fact that I now have a time limit. I’ve already made my arrangements with a friend who will carry them out for me. God Bless you for taking the time out to write to me, it’s not that often I open up to someone, especially since I have no family it’s nice to say something that’s on your mind. Thanks Again and God Bless. 🙏🏻👍🏻
Charles Fontanello Wow...that's an amazing testimony and it takes a strong man to endure what you went through. You NEVER know a person's situation because for any reason it could be anybody. God bless you and I'm sorry to hear about your current illness but it ain't over until the good Lord says so. God bless you and thank you for sharing.💪🏽😇
Charles Fontanello Oh no, you really have gone through way too much already 😩 but once you mentioned you were from the Bronx I knew that's where you get your strength from! I have cousins who grew up in the South Bronx. They're all close to 50 yrs. and older. They're all strong-willed and doing well for themselves. I wish there was a cure for your disease! You have a positive attitude for someone who's been through so much 😄 I'm praying for you Charles 😇 God bless you 🤗😇
Charles Fontanello I'm so sorry you had to go thru that! People can be vicious and then others have compassion! Hopefully your ex sees the joy you have now, and that her own mother is the one that helped you out the most!
AWWW.A GREAT STORY.ANGELS. ARE EVERYWHERE..BLESS BOTH OF THEM.
Showing or being kind to ppl doesn't cost anything. This lady has such a kind heart to buy this lady a warm meal. A hug, sometimes means so much. Ppl, show some kindness. Say hello or smile at strangers or the homeless. GOD IS WATCHING!!!!
This broke my heart & the more I watched the video I kept saying pls buy her a meal! pls! And you did & for that & all you do God will reward you & bless you❣️Thank you for being you & being so kind. You are a wonderful human being❣️God Bless❣️🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️
Always have compassion as you never know what happens in your life you might just land on the street. I know I have been there and it’s the worst experience you will ever have. Love one another god bless.👍✌️⭐️
Agreed Andy. 1000%
Amen to that!!! So have I and people have to be careful for turning there noses up at people who are less fortunate. God Bless!!!
Kung video
Beautiful this is what is all about helping each other.
God bless this wonderful lady for her kindness and showing these diners how kindness doesn't cost anything! 😊
I crying.... Literally!!.... we need more ppl like her! I wish to witness this, & if i see someone not give their food to a homeless person i would fyking get up & say to the person: "Rethink bout wat ur doing!?.... see urself in her shoes & wouldn't u wan this person to give u their left overs if, she gave u it!?.... I would so, u should unless u wan her to go throu out side trash-cans & die from, sickness out in the streets!? NU!....
I dont understand how anyone could let someone go hungry!!!! Almost everyone could afford to buy her something!! People never fail to shock me!!!!
When I am approached by the homeless for money I ask them if they are hungry. If the answer is yes i have them wait for me outside and get them a full meal wherever I am. I won't give them money but I'll buy them a meal. They're smile is all the thanks I need.
breeze787 *their smiles are
breeze787 amen
breeze787 that’s exactly what I do too except sometimes in addition I give them a lil’ change....it depends on how much I have, maybe 5 or 8 or 10
I use to give $$ but got sick of see ppl tern around go in the store and walk out with beer so I no longer do that but I will buy them some food and have even gone around heading out outfit toothpaste and the like
Anyone who only wants money is probably just a scam artist. There are some 2nd and 3rd generation homeless people on America's streets who have no idea how to turn cash into food. Also, even if they have money, the homeless are often not welcome.
Thank you Carmen!
The world needs more people like you. My son was homeless. Being on the street is hard. No food,sleep,baths,shelter or health care. My son was in a coma once because it turned out he was diabetic. He's here with me now and slowly becoming healthier.
My husband preaches at a homeless shelter some Sundays.
Love this all people deserve dignity and respect. I loved volunteering for the soup kitchen when I lived in my former community.❤️💕❤️💕❤️
God bless Carmen for her generosity. More people need to be like that
I would have gotten her something the first time. I think this story is not one of kindness, but a story about a woman breaking free from the sheeple to do the right thing.
If people did things more like this, it would be the norm and ignoring the homeless woman would be the thing people turn their noses up to.
If your child was hungry and needed help in a bad situation, would you be angry at the people that turned them away?? YES YOU WOULD.
We are ALL SOMEONE'S CHILD. We are all ONE.
This is amazing, this is great! I hope this story inspires more people to be more invested in their personal growth and kindness.
"If everyone gives a little it it adds up to a lot." Quote from my Father, he said it all the time. RIP Dad and thank you.
Thank you Carmen for being this lady's ANGEL. You will be BLESSED.
Wow! I was going to just click away from this story. Carmen literally has the most beautiful soul I have ever seen. I wish nothing but amazing things for her, and hope she continues on through life being this selfless, caring woman. We need more people like Carmen. This story literally made me shed a tear
We need more people in the world like Carmen!!!
Great lady, some people are so cruel when I used to lived in NYC I used to buy food to a homeless man that was always waiting by my building; I didn’t have a lot of money either but I always bought him crackers some kind of meat and juice , he was always so great full
Hilda AYBAR you have done a great thing
pranto sarathy thanks for the nice comment ❤️
Hilda AYBAR you don't have to say that dear just keep the good work going. God bless
Hilda AYBAR some people unfortunately won't open their eye's untill it happens to them. Then they learn
God bless you. I too have done the same.
Thank you Carmen for your kindness and love you shown and restoring the humanity in all of us.
Bless this woman's loving, caring heart.
What this lady had done was a BEAUTIFUL❤ thing. If I'm in a restaurant and a person asking me can they have my leftovers, not only will I say YES but I will buy them something to eat so they can have their own food as well.
My family use to cook a whole extra Thanksgiving meal and bring it to a homeless man that lived by our community in the middle of the woods in a tent. I use to ask my mom to bring me by to give him a candy bar or other things and after about 8 years of doing that one day he was gone. Because of my dad I learned to work on cars and because of the helping, giving nature my mother instilled in me I offer free work on cars for low income and struggling family's, and I always stop for someone broken down on the side of the road to see if I can help.
Dan That's awesome Dan! 😆 Your parents taught you some great life lessons that you'll definitely pass on. Maybe one day your path will cross again with that man... who knows? ☺
That's a beautiful thing but people are so evil I'd be scared out of my mind to stop and help anyone on the side of the road
DAN - 200,000 adults go missing in the USA every year. 800,000 kids - 300,000 by non-custodial parents, while 500,000 kids are never found. MY POINT TO YOU IS THIS: A ploy to "get" adults is a car breakdown. Be very careful. There could be another 2 or 3 people hiding behind bushes or trees. As much as I could use free work on my car, because I am very disabled woman and very low income, I always get taken advantage of. (Wish I could find someone with a heart as kind of yours). As kind as you are, BE VERY CAREFUL WHEN SOMEONE IS BROKEN DOWN ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. People have cell phones these days and can make a call to someone. I wonder what happened to the man you helped for 8 years?
daschundloverable I'm careful and I'm 6'1" and 250 and know how to use many of my tools as deadly weapons if needed as well as other close quarters defense and attack training with an ex army friend. But nothing luckily has ever happened like that and I don't want to have to hurt anyone, but I will if I have to protect myself. And as for the man I would love to run into him again and just talk with him.
Wow Dan. Keep up the work you are doing. Thank You!
This woman is truly an angel. So very kind of her to help the homeless woman.
Beautiful soul. We need more people like her. Blessings to you and your family as well as all others who help fight homelessness and hungry.
KINDNESS, COMPASSION,LOVE THATS WHAT THE WORLD NEEDS MORE OF🍞🍌🍍🍎🍇🍊
This story touched my humanity, the sad realization is that society is so quick to judge or even throw a person away just by observation. As a people we should have compassion for the human race no matter what! During my existence here on the earth I've seen so much hurt & harm that has no explanation but hate & evil does exist . I don't have it all together but I love people, also there's enough in this life that NO ONE SHOULD BE HUNGRY! So for those that try & give what they can I SAY " Thank you" God bless you from the bottom of my HEART!!!!!
Bless you carmen. You have place in heaven.
Thank you for the wonderful video. I, too, was homeless for a year because of GREEDY slumlords. And someone paid for my groceries last Christmas (2017)! Thankfully, I am out of the homeless situation, but I will sometimes help a homeless individual when I can. The lady in the video is truly an angel. Why aren't there more people like her?!
Please....don't judge them.....there just hungry.....and lonely.......and needs LOVE ....from you...(I to will NEVER forget) either...💕🍀
Awwwww u r so cute ... actually have seen many homeless pple such adorable hearts.
It's beautiful to accept any human that it homeless for any reason. She did the right thing....and so would I. However, the beauty of this outcome was ruined by bragging rights. A true act of kindness should be done as a selfless act and to expect nothing and to humble your kind act.
Susan Chisena Thank you!!! Also, who said the homeless woman wanted to be on UA-cam. Maybe she was ashamed of her predicament. People do good deeds for others down on their luck all the time. Most of us don't try to turn ourselves into a hero by bragging
Susan Chisena well said
I have been homeless in the past, even on my SSI. There were still times I didn't have enough to eat. But i made it. I'm doing ok now still getting my life back on track. It's not always easy, being Bipolar and living with depression takes its toll at times. I do take medication but not always. I do help people in need, I've bought burgers or meals because I've been there. I still pay it forward and I'm proud to watch this. Brought tears to my eyes. Thank you for carinf!!!
People nowadays have no heart but what she did is gonna be a memory for helping the need.... You are such a blessings
Hi, my husband Pete and I have been homeless, it hasn't been 2 months since I found a room to rent. People who have a place take things for granite that a homeless person cherishes, things like clean underclothes, socks, comb and toothbrush, something to hold your hair back, deodorant, a warm shower, or a place to wash your hands. Someone who has that constantly doesn't know what it is to do without. And people look down their nose at the homeless. We had police officers and hospital personnel who's attitudes changed toward us when they found out we were homeless. A heart given kindness makes a homeless person feel just a little bit human.
Bobbi Higgins
Peter Higgins may god give you all strength to overcome this ordeal. I'll pray for your well being. Lots of love and care from middle east state of Qatar.
Peter Higgins my son's name is Peter Higgins
Diane Sturlin what was your husband's name? Bobbi Higgins
Peter Higgins the same as his father's...Peter Higgins...
There was three generations of Peter Higgins. Grandpa, father, and my son.
I hope that you and your husband find your place in this world I was originally born and raised in Jackson Hole Wyoming and being homeless is no big deal to me. Even though I do have a home I prefer to be outside camping and living how the Lord meant us to live close to the Earth out of The Wretched nasty dirty cities. May you be blessed in all of your days.
Carmen you are amazing and thanks for checking me on my moral compass and behavior. I will definitely be thinking before I say no to the homeless in the future.
I'm thankful that you're one of some who learn from these other people's and my experiences being homeless is absolute hell especially when it seems that the world doesn't even know you're alive you're out in the middle of public and they don't even see you and that's when you're dressed nicely and you don't look homeless but they for some reason know you are
So profound... This story brought tears to my eyes. I am currently struggling to provide for my 3 children. I am not home less but I know what it's like to be hungry and have no food to eat. So yes I can identify with this homeless woman. Thank God for people like the lady who saw it fitting to buy her a whole meal instead of feeding her leftovers. May God bless all the generous souls like you.
Thank God for a few good souls. You could feel the compassion when she was hugging that homeless woman. We need more people like her.
In 33 US cities it’s a crime to feed the homeless The ruthless people who made these laws will meet their maker some day GOD HELP EM
Viking Amen
makes you wonder, who voted for these morons, who make it illegal to be kind ?
WOLFROY47 it’s not who you vote for it’s our participation level that counts When these morons get elected WE THE SHEEPLE fall asleep until next election We need to start telling our criminal employees what we want and let them know their opinion doesn’t matter in other words you work for us CLOWNS As long as WE THE SHEEPLE stay asleep there going to do exactly as they please We need to email fax phone and snail mail these scumbags until they get tired of hearing from us and then slam em some more
Carlos Phillips I know the feeling. I had made some needlepoint coasters and wanted to give-not sell-them to friends. I'm not homeless and was working at the time. I don't drive-can't afford to-and chose to walk there on the way to the library nearby with my Border Collie Tess. I hooked up my girl to the playground fence and went inside. There was an older lady sitting outside and she admired my girl, said she's watch out for her since she was in no hurry. I had enough to buy me a meal, but didn't think of dessert yet and took it outside. She happened to notice my coasters and offered to buy one just as we were about finished. I gave Tess a few-too salty and too much fat to give her too many. The lady wouldn't take no for a free one and gave me $5 for one. I decided to get a pie and went inside. The pony-tailed mgr.refused to sell it to me w/o explanation. I then figured he thought I was homeless and was selling something for money. I told the lady where I lived and that I was indeed NOT homeless. She went back inside and bought it. No more said from him.
All mankind are loved by their Makers....
But only those survive the one who found His lord..
Don't be arrogant to sit with those who have knowledge...
everybody should try living homeless for one week in their lives, it would totally change their views.
Agreed Steve, I've been homeless probably 3 times in my life. Living in a campground, then behind a hotel dumpster, and again living in my damn car. It sucks! But that was in my younger years. You never forget this experience.
@@marxgalacticambition7023 the message literally went over your head buddy
It sure would. No like a month or 2 with minium cash. Like $100. People would have a totally different view on the homeless.
@@dryan8377
Been there living out of our used to be van with my children some years ago. Thank God he brought us out and you and all the others who have survived and come out of homelessness. We need to keep all the homeless in constant prayer and do what we can for them when we can.
@@marxgalacticambition7023
Not true. Thats why it would be a good experience for you. People make homeless ppl out to be the disease carrying grossed out humans and its far from whats portrayed and what you see.
A kind heart is very rare nowadays. God bless that woman.
The world needs more people like Carmen, and not evil bystanders who do nothing but blame.
Thank the lord for such caring people.
Just because someone is homeless doesn't mean you treat them like dump. They're still humans too. And they deserve to be treated well for going through hardships or whatever problems that might have happened to them.
No one should go hungry in the USA, we have so much food, and people throwing it away,is a sin!! I do it as well,but never if someone asked me for It! I would have got her a hot meal as well,as long as I could afford It! " remember people you never know when you are in the presents of the Lord!"
candy Tynes. If I couldn't afford to buy another meal, I would gladly give her mine ..I' have food at home..while the woman has no home..no food
candy Tynes ikr it’s a sad truth the USA has wasted so much food and I’ve wasted food before and people in the USA are starving right now I can’t believe that so many people would turn her down and not give to those and need I know I would if someone asked me for food
candy Tynes Yes, it's awful in a country like the USA that there are people- children even- who go hungry everyday whilst thoughtless idiots have eating competitions and everyone thinks 'it's just a bit of fun' when it's not: it's a slap in the face for hungry people the world over.
People seem to lack empathy and good taste these days.
candy Tynes i get some one food a meal all the time and i cant make ends meet my self
People can be mean, glad this woman helped the homeless lady.I would have bought her a meal also and would feel blessed to be able to do so.God Bless
God bless you Carmen, The world needs more people like you. ♥
A wonderful act of kindness. God bless, Carman.
Shame on those people turning their noses down on a fellow human being...SHAME...SHAME !
People forget that "There by the Grace of God go I"
There but for fortune go you or I ! One unexpected tragedy could leave anyone homeless! Compassion costs you nothing!!!!
Darlene Greywolf you have to have a heart !! in order to have compassion! but by the grace of God go I!! no one knows what life has for them in store !!God bless you my friend have a great day!
Darlene Greywolf so true, I'm one of those, went from owning a house to disaster not due to my own fault, I use to help the homeless and homekess pups ❣🐕all the time , now I barely make it, it's amazing how invisible you become, I'm lucky to live in a van though, and I see the ones who rough it in tents, it breaks my heart especially when the temps have been in the teens💔, I always had a soft spot for the homeless but way more now, when I get back to life I will do so much more. make me so mad seeing how people just treat the homeless with disdain, I stay to myself to avoid feeling that way but some have no choice💔 I befriended an older lady last spring it was wonderful having her as a friend we parked together and everything we were always together daily looking out for eachother ❣ she ended up being one of the best people I'd ever known ❤❣ one day she didn't show up to our morning spot for coffee (December 11th) long short I went to find her and she had a massive stroke I had to call 911 to get her and her little dog out of the car,😢😢😢 if we didn't know eachother no one would have found her till it was too late,😢😢😢 she is in an assisted nursing facility now and can t talk💔💔💔 she is the sweetest lady ever and I miss her, I kept her little dog so she wouldn't go the pound. anyway I digress, this video was wonderful and you are right , no one ever knows what's around the corner, so treat everyone with respect no matter what❤❣❤
loveit loveit I will keep you in my prayers my friend! never give up hope! always !!have faith!! and trust in our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ !! he loves you !! as he loves everyone! all you need to do is turn to him and ask him for his love and forgiveness. he died on that Old Rugged Cross for us! I promise you my friend ,he's real!! he walks me through every day of this world! if it weren't for him I don't know where I'd be ? God bless you ! I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers!
awe❤ thank you, so sweet of ya, I am a beliver as well,💗💗💗 , God bless you
loveit loveit your heart is pure! May karma reward you! They are there I see them!!!!!
CARMEN IS A GIFT FROM UP ABOVE! A REAL ANGEL! BLESS U.
Bless you ma'am for feeding this lady. Thank you for your kind heart. Thank you for not judging. God bless you both. Thank you for sharing this heartwarming story. I was homeless & I know the hardships of being looked down people's noses as if I was less human in they're eyes. I was also told by an officer that homeless people are parasites to be gotten rid of.
God bless you for all that you do to help the homeless..I was there once briefly and its not a good feeling...they feel so alone and rejected by Society and it is so unfair to them...I'm sure they are so grateful for you and your help
Made me so emotional and made me think about where my heart has been and what it needs to do and that is give.
I KNOW IT'S THE RIGHT THING WHEN IT BRINGS TEARS TO MY EYES!!! GOD BLESS
I will never ignore them anymore..a touching story.. I should give my hands to them.
Thank you for the wonderful story!
When I was homeless i and my husband got treated the same way, its so hard being homeless
this brought me to tears! Beautiful story and God Bless Carmen!
You don't have to be homeless to be hungry .This was a heart felt story.God is Good.
What a sweet lady..cheers to Carmen for helping someone in need...Boos to those who didnt. May they never be in that situation and find others unwilling to aid them as they refused to aid her.
This is truly a beautiful story Karma is a real thing ! no one knows what waits for them around the corner .God is good all the time ! people who treat others unkind ! and uncaring! remember that these people did not set out for their lives to be this way. no one wants to live this way. don't judge others!! God says lest ye be judged!!!
Gods are useless, this woman needed help.
321scully I agree gods are useless! but our heavenly father the Lord Jesus Christ the one true God all-knowing and Powerful !! I will pray for you my friend God is real! and I'm sorry you don't believe in him.
Jainy. I am very happy for you to find happiness in religion. However your god was doing no favours for this unfortunate woman who has to beg for her food.
Splendid Mendax Sucker?? NO not a sucker!! I just have a heart of God . I love my heavenly father the Lord Jesus Christ!! who is the King of Kings !!! and the Lord of lords !!! and I feel so sorry ! and pity! the foolish people!! that don't believe in him !!! I will pray! for you my friend, and if you want to call me a sucker! you go right ahead. God bless you and have a blessed day!
How close are you to me and come in the front
God bless you
it's so hard to believe how cruel people can be while judging someone. thank you for sharing. hopefully this will turn some others hearts around.
Awesome, Carmen. I wish more people were like her. May God forever ever bless you.
this made me cry you were her Angel and many mores Angel.God will bless you sweety we should always be humble kind pass the love down

Good for you Carmen! We need more people in the world, like yourself! God bless you! 🙏🏾
God bless Carmen for blessing that homeless woman a decent meal. She will be blessed forever. God is so GOOD! 😢
Mama always said that they could be angels in disguise testing you.
Angels do exists ......
She have the heart of God . God bless you sister we need more people like you in this dark world.
Good for you Carmen Mendez, you did the right thing by showing this lady that she's not a sinner just by being homeless and treating her exactly how she should have been treated, and that was with love and respect, all those other people in that restaurant that stuck their noses up at her, they'll get their due when the time comes, they should not have treated that Homeless lady like that..... Hail to the POWER of LOVE
Such a beautiful story. May God bless Carmen*;0)

Yes I thank da lord 4 giving such a purely heart.
Typical religiots blessing Carmen and not bothering with the homeless person, talk about bigots.
I love the homeless! In October I was in downtown Chicago. Cold, the woman sat there with her cat, cat food. I pet her kitty, gave her money and a granola bar!
Sarah Elliott I Love Kittys
Sarah Elliott MONEY? You’ll never know how many drugs or alcohol that went into
Rather give food directly
lady boywonder, why would you be concerned about if they bought drugs.
Ask if they're hungry and feed them.
Our Creator wants us to care for one another.
Me also! I've met some of the kindest homeless people ever! While living at the hospital with my now late son, one man called me his angel for simply allowing him a choice in his meal and forcing him to accept a gift card for later. That was nearly 10yrs ago and I'll never forget how he ministered to my broken spirit that evening. 🤗
God bless you Sarah.
I would just like to say thank you for treating a woman with the respect she deserves! What is wrong with people? How dare we think we are any better than that woman because of her living situation? Nobody knows her back story. Appalling behavior...they should be ashamed of themselves. Also, a big THANK YOU to Raising Canes! I have seen too many videos of fast food restaurants calling the cops on homeless people. Truly sickening!!
This is what reminds me how some kind people are still out there. God Bless her.
May the Lord God Almighty RICHLY BLESS ALL OF THE PEOPLE WHO CARE ENOUGH ABOUT THESE individuals!!! One day, it could be you or me, "There before the grace of God, go I"! Put yourself in their shoes, bless and help them. You never know if you are entertaining Angels.....

Amen

Jainy Murrphy Perhaps a truer, and more biblical prayer would be to ask God to touch our own hearts so that we actively and routinely become one of those people who feeds the hungry and helps the helpless, rather than praying for others who are already doing it!
" If one of you says to them, "Go in peace; keep warm and well fed, but does nothing about their physical needs, what good is it? In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead. " - James 2:16-17
Maybe we should spend less time praying for those currently involved in mercy ministries and start praying for our own apathy.
Carmen is the very example of Jesus making miracles anong the hyngry, the poor and the sick. Sge a 100% answered Jesus commandment, thst, "thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself". What a beautiful thing to do. God bless Carmen abundantly.
I didnt cry till they showed the picture ... my soul ached for the lady and carmen in this tender hug from a rejected soul to a loved soul...
Way to go Carmen. My soul is crying and smiling at the same time. We need more Carmens. I love u
They are real people not a shadow it could be you or i
River-lee Macintyre to me this is one of the best story
Very good kind Lady give the homeless food very good to watch. I always doing my best to give them.some thing very kind heart thank you.and. Bless you all.
God bless this woman and Raising Canes for the kind actions they did. It's nice to know good people still exists.
What a heart warming story, if not for the grace of God I'd be in the same situation. No one asks to be homeless, open up your hearts and give compassion to those less fortunate. May God bless Carme
Guys..This is beautiful stay with God guys!
We can all be good Smaritians, if we only think what Almighty God has given to us, let us give to others, those in the video that failed to help the homeless lady or any homeless person should be ashamed of themselves , they wil never know just when they might need help. Remember the words of Jesus, when I was sick you visited me not, when I was hungry you gave me no food. Lord, when where you sick that we visited you not, Lord when wear you hungry that we gave you nothing to eat. When you have done these things unto the least of my breathern YOU HAVE DONE IT ONTO ME. REACH OUT TO OTHERS IN DISTRESS, IF YOU ARE SKINK YOURSELF A SMILE COSTS YOU NOTHING, A GENTLE WORD OF ENCOURAGEMENT COSTS NOTHING. JUST THINK. GREETINGS FROM NORTHERN IRELAND.
God bless you.
Wow! I can't control my tears. What a beautiful true story. May the Lord Bless you more & more
Ohhh thank goodness for those few wonderful people like her bless you and your heart
I'm in NYC, in 1992 do to a fire in the apartment directly above mine and all the smoke and water damage, I was placed in a homeless shelter for nearly a year. although I had a job I was looked upon and treated like shit from ppl who saw me entering or leaving the shelter. I will never understand why ppl pass judgement on the less fortunate like hard times can't touch them.
Carmen is a keeper!!!
What a sweet girl!! A true angel among us!!
GOD Richly Bless You !, Carmen Mendez and the Old Woman, GOD Bless Both of You !!
