Here’s a truly heartwarming story about the bond formed between a little 5-year-old girl and some construction workers that will make you believe that we all can make a difference when we give a child a gift of our time.
A young family moved into a house, next to a vacant lot, One day a construction crew turns up and started to build a house on the empty lot.
The young family’s 5-year -old daughter naturally took an interest in all the activity going on next door. She spent much of each day observing the workers.
Eventually the construction crew- all of –these’s “gems in the rough” kind of adopted her as a kind of mascot. They chatted with her let her sit with them at coffee time and lunch. They gave her small little jobs to do here and there to make her feel important.
At the end of the first week, they even presented her with a pay envelope containing ten dollars. The little girl took this home to her mother who suggested that she take the $10 she’d received as pay and start a savings account.
The next day they go to the bank, the teller is was equally impressed and asked the little girl how she had come by her very own pay cheque at such very young age.
The little girl proudly replied” I worked last week with a real work crew building the new house next door to us.
“Oh my goodness gracious “ said the teller, “and will you be working on the house again this week too.”
The little girl replied “I will, if those assholes at Home Depot ever deliver the f#&ing sheet rock.”

Kinda brings a tear to your eye doesn’t it?
