For Feed 500 on Saturday, our group covered the Columbus Circle area. On the way to the train station on the way home, I saw Viola, a Filippino elderly woman my group met. I stopped by to talk to her and see what she did today. I asked her if she had anything to eat and asked her if I could buy her something to eat. I got her a sandwich and some hot chocolate and talked to her a bit. She seemed very suspicious at first asking why I was doing this. I didn't know how to tell her that I didn't have ulterior motives so I just continued to talk to her. As we were saying our goodbyes I gave her the little cross beads Zion made. For the past week I've been carrying it in my pocket with me everyday and it would just grab it whenever I was anxious, worried, or scared. It would just calm me down and I explained that to her and told her I wanted her to have it and hoped it would do the same for her. Before I left we hugged it out said out "take cares."HAHA.
