Homelessness is a tragic reality of the world we live in. While many believe that the people who live on the streets are there because they fail to put in enough effort, the truth is much more complex(复杂的). And it is important to realize that.
When Dominique Harrison-Bentzen, at age 22, found herself stranded(滞留) in the streets, she was saved by a homeless man. In an unbelievable act of kindness, the homeless man offered her his last remaining £3 so she could pay for a taxi to get home safely. “We met when I was trying to get home but I realized I had no money. I had lost my bank card after a night out. I suddenly realized that I had no money and I cried sadly. Then a dirty homeless man walked to me, which made me more scared. I didn’t know who he was and what he was going to do,” Dominique recalled. When she was about to run away, he stopped her and asked her if she needed help. “His smile was so kind that I believed him. After learning the truth, he comforted me and helped me with his only change of £3. He told me to take it to pay for a taxi to make sure I got home safely,” Dominique added.
“He doesn’t look like a bad guy. Why is he homeless?” Dominique thought. After a short conversation, Dominique found out that the kind man named Robbie had become homeless and jobless just 7 months before she met him. He got laid off from his job because of his illness. Since then, he had been doing part-time jobs. He worked hard. However, things were not getting better. The conditions of homelessness made it even more difficult to find stable(稳定的) jobs and get out of the streets. Despite it all, Robbie never lost his kindness. Many said that he came to their help in Preston city centre, returning lost wallets to walkers and offering his own scarf to keep others warm. Dominique was moved. Dominique didn’t take his money but his kindness left a lasting mark on her.
Paragraph 1:
Days later, Dominique vowed(发誓) she would help him back and she wanted to find him first.

Paragraph 2:
Dominique wanted to change his life completely by raising money for him.

Once upon a time when I was in school my best friend called me late night on Saturday to invite me to her birthday the next day. I was very happy and excited to go there but I needed to take permission from my parents. I went to their room and slowly asked them. They said, “OK, you can go but you should be back before 10.”
Then my preparations started. I made a card for my friend and started selecting clothes for the party. Finally everything completed and I went to sleep and only one thing was there in my mind all the time—THE PARTY. I was waiting for the night to end and the party to begin.
Next morning my Mom was surprised to see that I just woke up by myself, no alarm, no Mom’s warning. The whole day had passed and now it was party time. My father dropped me to my friend’s place and said that he would be back at 10.
I enjoyed a lot at the party. My friend loved the card that I made for her and everybody in the party loved my dress, I was on cloud nine. We had dinner, played so many games and it was 10 finally. I remembered my parents’ advice that I should be back by 10. I came out and started searching for my dad, but I could not find him. I was so worried and scared; everybody was inside, but I was alone there, I waited there for 5 to 10 minutes but waiting alone seemed to be more than the time. I started walking, and I thought at least I could go home by walking as my home was 20 minutes away from my friends place. As I was walking I was weeping as I had never walked alone on the road at night.
