Charitable Ella Treats Old Lady to a Meal
[2009.03.25]

Ella from S.H.E certainly had a very kind heart. Last Saturday she took the initiative to help an old lady at Yong-Kang Street. This charitable incident was posted in a blog entry by someone who witnessed the act and was moved by it. When Ella was interviewed about it on March 24^th, she said with some embarrassment: [This is such an insignificant matter that it is not worth mentioning. If you want to do good deeds, don’t be shy about it, just do it.]

Bystander Lending a Helping Hand
She Turn out to be…

According to the blog, that evening in a side alley near Yong-Kang Park, there was an old lady slowly pushing a cart heavily loaded with recycled materials and causing traffic congestion behind her. Suddenly there was a passer-by who wanted to help the old lady but was refused. It was then that the witness realized in surprise that the passer-by was Ella.

Yet that was not the end of the story as Ella and the old lady were destined to cross path again. Ella shared that she saw the old lady as she was on her way home after exercising that day. After she was refused, Ella went to buy a ticket for a charity lottery. At that point, the old lady appeared again and said: [Kindhearted miss, good luck in winning a prize.] The old lady continued: [You are such a nice person. You have money to buy the lottery but even for a meal, I don’t have any money.]

Also Donate to Charity $20 Spare Change

Ella immediately expressed: [Grandmother (common way to call an old lady) , how about if I treat you to a meal?] This time the old lady agreed. Because she was going to exercise, therefore she did not have her purse with her. After buying the lottery ticket, she only had $100 on her. After she purchased food for the old lady, she then donated the $20 spare change that was left over into the [Bread of Love] saving box for which she was the spokesperson, [That was a pretty fulfilling day.]
