Everyone deserves benevolent and humane treatment, regardless of whether they are rich or poor.
This is the life principle of Michael Rivers, who lives in North Carolina, USA, and works as a police officer.
One day, as he was traveling through his territory, he saw a homeless woman sitting by the roadside.
The message on her T-shirt prompted him to start a conversation with her.
“Becoming homeless is the fastest way to become a nobody,” was exactly what was written on the homeless woman’s T-shirt.
A police officer fed a homeless woman and sat down to eat with her: All thanks to the message on her T-shirt.
Michael approached her and asked if she had eaten today, but she said no.
He then went to the nearest restaurant, got some food, and sat down next to her for lunch.
He learned that the homeless woman’s name was Michelle. According to Michael, they spent about an hour together, during which they had the opportunity to talk deeply from the heart.
It turned out that Michelle had a homeless husband as well, and two children: a 23-year-old son and a sick 12-year-old daughter who was currently living with a foster family.
These people were simply photographed by passersby while having lunch on the street.

Later, Michelle and Michael parted ways.
The man admits to having achieved a lot and understanding that he had even similarities with this woman.
Homeless individuals are often ignored by society, and many of them are forced into this situation against their will.
Police officers are often perceived as cruel and insensitive, even though they chose this profession to protect people, not just to incarcerate them.
Let’s not judge people based on their appearance or status, but treat everyone with kindness and humanity.
