Girl of ten opens family cafe to serve dinner for 50 homeless to keep her dead father's promise

Great story, OP ! I'm sure others, even here in the USA did just such things.

"Tis more blessed to give, than receive ".

Beautiful .. I'm sure her father is extremely proud!

Yes. I'm sure even here in the USA

Yes.

Some kids are just amazing, born with massive amounts of compassion.

best Christmas story this year

Excellent - an amazing effort from a very kind family and a fitting tribute to Gracie's dad. How sad though that there are so many homeless people. It's a disgrace that these vulnerable people are of such low priority to councils and government that they have to rely on charity.

Wonderful story.

Thank you for the

I am one of those people that keeps saying I am going to do something like this but never do.
Blessings to the ones that make it happen

omg the dinner wasn't even over yet when the authorities raded her cafe, smashing the tables and her guests.
Six homeless people had to be rushed to the hospital in critical condition.

Uh...he's dead.

Sharing hope is priceless.

hope the queen gets to read about this beautiful family and learn about compassion for her fellow men.

it is the common people helping others, while the ones wanting to be called vip's show no heart .....

Thank you for sharing the story

I only read the thread title, but god damn, that is some heavy shit! What a girl!

In the USA, someone would have complained, and the cops would have come to shut it down, after using a taser on her.

Why are poor people more generous than the rich? Paul Piff, a social psychologist at the University of California, Berkeley, says that's consistent with what he's found in years of research on income and giving.
“The more wealth you have, the more focused on your own self and your own needs you become, and the less attuned to the needs of other people you also become,” he says.
Piff says it's not that rich people aren't generous. They're often just isolated. They don't see a lot of poor people in their daily lives. [link to freethoughtblogs.com]

Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.

It 's strange to happen in America, a generous country. Americans are some of the most generous of all people.

5 Stars! Beautiful story, OP, thanks for sharing!

10 year old Idiot.

Actually this is good advertisement for the cafe. Maybe the father just wanted to raise profit of his business but just kept the idea in "I love all people" way.

Give a homeless person a sandwich in Houston, go to jail. Fucking lawmaking pricks.
