He Used His Tips to Feed Strangers
How one small choice turned into hope for many people.

Hey, my friend,
Today’s story is about a young man named Zachary Jacobson from the United States.
Zachary worked as a pizza delivery driver. One day, after his shift, he saw many homeless people sitting near the place where he worked.
He went home and kept thinking about them.
He thought about how he often got tips from customers and how that money could be used for something better than just spending it on himself.
So he decided that instead of saving his tips for personal things, he would use them to buy food for people who had no meals that day.
After work, he would go to nearby restaurants and buy burgers, sandwiches, and water.
Then he would walk around and give the food to people on the streets.
At first, he did it alone and quietly, without telling many people.
Soon, his coworkers noticed what he was doing and asked if they could help.
And, some started giving part of their tips, too.
A few customers heard about it and added extra money just for his food mission.
You see, what started with one person and a few dollars slowly became a team effort.
More people joined because they saw how real and honest his heart was.
Zachary did not have a big plan or a lot of money. He just saw a need and chose to respond with what he had.
His story shows us that kindness does not need a big stage or a perfect time.
It starts when we look around and care enough to act.
Just like him, we might not have extra money, but we always have something.
We have time and words that can lift someone.
We also have attention that can make someone feel seen.
So, why not use it?
Because when we do that, we become part of someone else’s hope, even if we never know how much it meant to them.
I hope you’ll keep that in mind.
Praying for your day and your physical and mental well-being.
That is it for today, and see you tomorrow, my friend.
Take care,
Prasad Mairale
