The weeks that followed felt unreal. He moved his children into an apartment. He returned to full-time work. He brought people with him—others from the tent community, people who had skills but no second chances. Matthew didn’t object. He encouraged it.

Looking back, Sean realized that his life didn’t change because he met a wealthy man. It changed because, even when he had nothing left, he chose to give.
Two dollars didn’t buy him a future. His character did.
And in a world that often measures worth by possessions, Sean proved that sometimes the smallest act, given at the hardest moment, carries the greatest weight.
