[Aunt Donna]

My mother is one of the shift managers where she works. One of the workers came in today and said she didn't know how long she could stay today because worrying about her step-son's 16 year-old son. My mother asked her what was going on. She told my mom that the boy had called her earlier today and said noboby wanted him. His dad and mom didn't want him and he was living with his grandmother who let him know he was too much trouble. He called mom's co-worker (his grandfather is deceased ). He told her was just ready to call it quits because he was always in the way and nobody wanted him. Mom's co-worker went and got him and moved him in with her (she doesn't have any grandchildren and her daughter is 40). She was worried about leaving him alone this afternoon while she worked, since he was so down on himself. Mother and the other shift manager told her to go home and bring him back with her to work. They work in a restaurant, so he could sit at one of the tables. All the workers made a point to talk with him about school and stuff that interested him. None of them let him know that they knew what was really going on. His spirits were lifted at the end of the shift. He has moved into a new home with a lady who wants him and she has friends who care and who are willing to advise her on how to deal with teenage boys.

Thank God for people like your mom and her co-workers. Sometimes, when I feel like there is no one who cares, I need this to remind me. Thanks! HUGGGSSSS!

Oh Donna! This is such a heartwarming post! Your mother is a darling and that is a most beautiful thing she did. And kudos to her workmate for taking this boy into her home.

Hello, Donna. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you for the day-brightener telling us about this wonderful bunch of people!

Thanks for posting this. It sounds like you have a good hearted, caring mom. I hope she is all that for you, too.

It does us all good to hear about good deeds being done by others. It encourages others to do likewise, I think.

thanks for that story. more ppl should reach out like your mom and her friends did. it would be a lovlier world if things like this were the norm. it may have saved that young man's life.

How wonderful is the support and love you have received! I want to add that this young man in your life has received a great deal of support and attention, but he continues to feel like an outsider. I would seriously consider getting him some psychiatric help because he feels so low and is telling everyone he feels rejected. I n other words, he is reaching out. Please consider that he might be suffering from depression and needs appropriate help.

Your mother seems quite inspiring. Good for her.

Have a good one.

There are good people in this world. Unfortunately they remain a minority. Most people are selfish
