Overwhelmed

For some obvious reasons, Elmer got emotional hearing what all Roberta was doing for him in reciprocation of him just returning her cheque.  Considering the fact that he had spent half of his life on streets, searching for food, getting a shelter and an opportunity to work was a big deal. He could not hold back his tears realizing that how his life changed in an instant.

Warm This Winter

Though every act of Roberta brought tears to Elmer’s eyes, there was one particular thing, Elmer could not thank Roberta enough for. Every winter Elmer was terrified with approaching winter. It would be freezing cold in Connecticut as temperatures dropped to 16 degrees Fahrenheit there. Finally, this winter Elmer had a home which would keep him warm and help him survive the harsh climate.

No Expectations

Someone has rightly said, “The secret to happiness is having no expectations”. While Elmer decided to return the money to its rightful owner, he did not carry any expectations along with him. He did not even think that anyone would do anything for him in return of this favor. Rather he did it all because of his kindness and his ethics which did not let him steal the money which doesn’t belong to him.

Philanthropist

Elmer was not the first person to receive help from Roberta. Rather, she has dedicated a part of her successful life in helping the people in need. By every means, she is a true philanthropist. Living herself over the streets and struggling for every penny, she knew how tough life was. Now that she was successful enough, she believes in the power of charity.

A Positive Change

Undoubtedly, Hoskie’s help and kindliness marked a significant impact on Elmer’s life. He no longer had to worry about the challenges to survive in life, rather he made the best of the advantage possible of the opportunity he was gifted. He continued educating himself further in hopes of building himself a steady future. No doubts that he was flourishing in his new life.

On A New Mission

Elmer was now on a new mission in life. In an interview, he tells media that now his life’s focus was to help people and he was trying every bid possible to help them. He knows how much poverty strikes on the people living out on streets and begging for meals. Just like Roberta transformed his life, he too wanted to make a change in someone else’s life.
