One day while walking in Center City (Down Town) Philadelphia. A Homeless man asked me if he could have a dollar for something to eat, at first I was kind of skeptical because sometimes they lie and use the money for drugs, But after I gave him the dollar we sat and talked for like 10 minutes and he said "I notice you have Vitiligo my Mother had that" and I was shocked because I'm thinking because the man was Homeless and Dirty he was not that intelligent, which I should of never assumed, But too make a long story short, Lets just say I learned something that day and that dollar quickly turned into $20.00 we had the most interesting converstion , It just made my day, You just never know if a person knows about Vitiligo or not.

  • Great story and very inspiring. I guess we can never underestimate what people know based on how they look. Thanks for sharing.
  • Man, what a beautiful story. I work for a Homeless Coalition center...although we dont work directly with the homeless (just the agencies) I have seen and heard a great deal of stories.
