He Fell In Love With A 19-Year-Old Homeless Girl And Asked Her To Move In With Him

One year ago while making his commute to work every day, a 24-year-old man began realizing that there was a 19-year-old homeless girl that started hanging around his neighborhood.
There are so few homeless people in this part of town that it was easy to see that this 19-year-old girl was a newbie on the streets.
He ended up seeing her in passing every single morning, and he would stop to hand her some money so she wouldn’t go hungry.
Eventually, they began talking, and he thought she was incredibly kind. He felt so badly for her that he began packing two lunches and bringing one to her in addition to money.
“She was always super grateful,” he explained. “When we had a few days of super heavy rains and floods I paid for her to stay at a hotel for a week.”
“I really like this girl and I want to ask her out but I don’t want to make her feel like she has to go out with me because I’m helping her or feel obligated. I also don’t really know how to help her or if it’s even appropriate to ask her out.”
Well, he gave this situation a lot of consideration, and he ultimately decided to ask this girl if she would like to move in with him. As soon as he asked her if she wanted to get off the streets and stay with him, she teared up.
“She started crying and said she’d love to and kept asking me if I was sure,” he said. “So I assured her I was.”
That afternoon he said he would come back for her when he was done with work for the day.

Before he did though, he stopped at a local mall to buy clothing for her before heading back to get her.
He did let her know that if she could find a job, he would only want her to pay 30% of his rent, and then they could share the utility bills.
“I also told her how I felt about her but said I didn’t want to pursue anything until she’s more independent because I didn’t want her thinking she has to be with me because I helped her,” he continued.
Now that she has been living with him, he’s noticed that she does have a few problems that he did not previously know about.
She has terrible mood swings and he believes she might have some kind of undiagnosed personality disorder.
He also has become aware of the fact that she can’t read, and he isn’t positive why that is.
Anyway, he reached out to one of his friends who works at a local pizza place, and he was able to get this no longer homeless girl an interview next week for a dishwashing job.
“I know it’s not the most glamorous job out there but at least it’s full-time with weekly pay,” he continued. “So tomorrow the plan is to go shopping so she can get some clothes and makeup stuff etc.”
It’s really such a kind thing that this man did, getting her off the streets and helping her get a job, too!
