George King, of Joplin, Missouri, was tired of being alone on Christmas. He was feeling a bit depressed and decided to do something about it.

Nice story. Glad someone reached out to him. Reminder that a lot of people don't have family or others to support them.

I've been in his shoes before, not a good feeling at all. Only wish there was internet during those black days.

Thanks for sharing that lovely story. Things do happen for a reason

For many years we would always invite a homeless person to our house for Christmas dinner, give them a bath and bed (usually in that order), and give them a financial parting gift. The vast majority spent the money on alcohol, but a few didn't. And it was a great life lesson from my parents to me and my siblings: that could be us given the wrong cirumstances.
