Dad of 3 Living in Tent Gives Last $2 to Stranger at Gas Station, Wakes Up Receiving an Offer He Can’t Turn Down.
my office around noon. I have something to tell you Matthew said his tone serious.
Noon? Well I think so but I dont have much time before I have to pick up my kids
Dont worry I wont keep you long today Matthew replied cryptically giving him an address in downtown.
I just wanted to thank you for what you did yesterday. I could see that giving away those 2 was a big sacrifice for you and I appreciate it Matthew said in his office impressing Sean. He had no idea that the man he helped was the owner of a company and he wondered if he could ask for a job.
Thank you sir. Im a father so I know what its like to go through labor with your wife Sean replied smiling despite thinking of his late wife.
Tell me more about your life and your family Matthew encouraged. After hesitating for a moment Sean opened up and shared his struggles with his wifes illness her passing losing their home and their current living situation.
Now I can only work parttime because I have to take care of my kids. We havent been approved for some government assistance so its been tough Sean finished biting his lip.
You mentioned that you used to manage a company? Matthew inquired.
Yes I was the senior regional manager at my previous job but I had to step back when my wife got sick Sean confirmed.
How about this? Manage this company? Matthew said bluntly.
What? I couldnt do that. My kids. Look at me. Imnothing Sean protested.
Well figure something out Matthew replied confidently.
What kind of management position is it? Sean asked intrigued. This offer was more than he couldve imagined.
Actually I want you to be the new owner. Im expanding and I desperately need a partner. Well be coowners. I like your attitude and I have a great gut feeling about people. What do you say? Matthew offered leaving Sean speechless.
I dont think I can turn down such an offer but wouldnt it be better to have a partner with more money? Sean asked stunned by the generous proposal.
Money huh? You know a wealthy man in a luxury Lexus refused to give me a few dollars for gas before you came along Matthew revealed raising an eyebrow. A few dollars that wouldnt even make a dent in his bank account. But you you gave me all you had to eat that
day. That means more to me than any amount of money some random investor could bring in. I dont want just new money I want to infuse my business with more soul. I want you.
Thank you Sean breathed unable to believe his luck. Matthew smiled and shook his hand.
Soon Sean started working as one of the new owners and was even allowed to bring his children to the office. With the advance of his excellent salary he found a wonderful apartment for his family and everything began to settle.
In addition he helped other people in the tent city find better jobs including the neighbor who often helped him with the kids.
Sean excelled in his job and while the pain of his wifes passing would never go away he had something to work toward. His hope was restored and his children no longer had to live in poverty. Life was good again.
