An amazing story that will forever change my attitude towards panhandlers. The main character is a single, unemployed father who can't find work and is trying his best to take care of his daughter while avoiding charity or welfare. So he begs on the streets and only gets a dollar or two a day.  That sounds grim, and it is a little, especially after reading the author notes that this is based on a real person. But the message of love and hope shines through so it's not deadly depressing.  It is very moving and worth the read.
