HEARTWARMING STORY
Here's a heartwarming story about the bond formed between a little girl and
some construction workers. This will make you believe that we CAN make a
difference when we give a child the gift of your time...
A young family moved into a house next door to a vacant lot. One day, a
construction crew came in and began building a house on the empty lot. The
family's 5-year-old daughter became interested in all the activity going on
next door and spent much of each day observing the workers.
Eventually, the construction crew, all of them gems-in-the-rough, more or
less adopted her as a project mascot. They chatted with her, let her sit
with them while they took coffee and lunch breaks, and gave her little jobs
to do here and there to make her feel important.
At the end of the first week, the men presented her with a pay envelope
which contained $2.00.The little girl took this home to her mother, who said
all the appropriate words of admiration, and suggested that they take the
money she received to the bank to start a savings account.
When they talked to the bank teller, she was equally impressed and asked the
little girl how she earned her very own paycheck at such a young age. The
child proudly replied, "I worked last week with the crew building the house
next door to us."
"My goodness gracious," said the teller, "and will you be working on the
house again this week too?"
The little girl replied, "I will if those assholes at Home Depot ever
deliver the fucking' sheet rock..."
Kinda brings a tear to the eye...
