You're kidding me right? Uh, no... and you shouldn't take it personally.  There is a womanwho's body is facing forward (accounts for 2 hands).  The seated woman has her face buried in the chest of the standing woman who hugged her (accounts for 2 hands). 


It appeared that the woman had 4 hands and was holding a pomeranian (the hair of the woman on the right).  Thank you for your description.

The photograh is confusing... the woman has 4 hands and what is she holding... a dog? 


@Lovethesea

The homeless lady has her right hand grasping the other lady's right forearm & her left hand is at her own left shoulder, under the other lady's 2 hands.  They are not hugging face to face.  The homeless lady is sidways, with her right side against the other lady.

Thank you for posting about this moving story.  If I can roughly quote from The Good Book, I believe Jesus said, "For whatever you do to the least of my brothers, that you do onto Me."  I wonder how many folks who turn away from someone in trouble live with themselves.

If that was me it wouldn't have been enough to buy her 1 meal.  Where will she sleep and what will she eat tomorrow and the day after.  Where are her relatives?  I wouldn't be able to walk away and leave her to fend for herself.  Does she know where a homeless shelter is?  You have to commit yourself 100% and not just apply a temporary bandaid.  If that was me, I wouldn't be able to sleep at night not knowing the answers to any of those questions.  Hopefully, that woman felt the same way.

Re: The good news is.........

"Whatsoever you do t the least of my brethren, you do unto me" I think this quote is from the Bible.  I heard this when I was a child, don't know from where of who told it to me, but it is a quote I always remembered.
