Everytime my family and I would go to Steak n Shake we would see this very fragile older man. He would be just sitting at a booth by himself drinking a glass of water and reading. I asked my waitress if I could buy him a meal and our waitress said of course you can. Long story short this man was and still is homeless. Everytime we go in Steak n Shake we buy him a meal and give him some spending money. Now he talks to us on a regular basis and we check up on him all the time. I think we helped him because he started to cry and hugged us and thanked us.
