Leaside Community Facebook carries a post Tuesday describing an extraordinary act of kindness done by a Leaside woman for the ragged homeless man mentioned here Monday. She tells of a friendly exchange with the man near the TD Bank at 1860 Bayview Ave. north of Broadway Ave. She offers a poignant account of how this desperately needy man refused to accept any of the items she had brought for him. This response will be known to anyone who has tried to help such people. Their reasoning is muddled up by fear of taking anything, carrying it around with them and possibly a damaged sense of self-worth. Quite sad.
