　　Then my mother quietly took me to one side. She said, "You have assumed that the needs of the people who come here must be purely physical: hunger, no enough shelter and needs are excitable? What if he needs comfort, friends, or just to be among other human beings?" Her words hit me like a ton of bricks! I felt like I should apologize to the man, but I didn't.

　　About a week later the shelter received a large donation from an anonymous(匿名的) source. I can't help but wonder if it came from that man.

Needs aren't always visible. But kindness always makes a difference.
