I didn’t even notice him It was a chilly November evening in New York City, and my daughter
and I were walking up Broadway I was thinking, “Milk, dry cleaners, home” Was I supposed to notice a guy sitting inside a cardboard box next to a newsstand? No, but Nora did She wasn't
even four, but she pulled at my coat sleeve and said “That man’s cold, Daddy Can we take
him home?"
I don't remember my reply - probably something like, “That wouldn't really be helping him”
Maybe I made her feel better by giving her an apple I don't know But I do remember a sudden
heavy feeling inside me I had always been delighted at how much my daughter noticed in her
world, whether it was birds in flight or children playing But now she was noticing suffering and
poverty
A few days later, I saw an article in the newspaper about volunteers who delivered meals to
elderly people The volunteers went to a nearby school on a Sunday morning, picked up a food package, and delivered it to an elderly person It was quick and easy I signed us up Nora was excited about it She could understand the importance of food, so she could easily see how
valuable our job was When Sunday came, she was ready, but I had to push myself to leave the house On the way to the school I fought an urge to turn back The Sunday paper and my
coffee were waiting at home Why do this? Still, we picked up the package and phoned the
elderly person we'd been assigned She invited us right over And that day Nora and I paid a
visit to her depressing flat After saying goodbye, I walked home in tears
Professionals call such a visit a “volunteer opportunity" Indeed, the proverty my daughter and I helped lessen that Sunday afternoon was not the old woman's alone it was in our lives, too
Nora and I regularly serve meals to needy people and collect clothes lor the homeless Yet, as
I've watched her grow over these past four years I still wonder which of us has benefited more?
