June 15, 2019 - Terminal Skytrain Station, Vancouver

I invited a guy asking for money to buy him what he wanted at A&W and he said:

"Thank you very much. This is so cool.”

A young First Nations guy. He enjoyed choosing hi meal and drink. The A&W staff were amazingly polite, respectful and patient as he was trying to figure out what he liked to eat.

I gave this man $3 at an intersection and he said:

"Thank you very much. Have a great day.”

A old hunchbacked man looking frail in the middle of an intersection. I got the wrath of the selfish drivers behind me as my interaction with this man meant we all missed our left hand turn signal. Life can wait people.

April 10, 2018 - Chinatown, Vancouver

I gave a young guy an egg sandwich and fruit box from Starbucks and he said:

"Thank you sir." (With a huge smile)

A young First Nations guy sitting on the sidewalk smoking and shivering in the cold. He was not even asking for help but his gratefulness for the food showed that he really needed to eat.

I bought an older woman a sandwich and coffee and she said:

"Thank you very much"

An older woman who approached me for food at the entrance of Railtown Cafe in Railtown. Kudos to the staff for being respectful and accommodating.
