It is true that it is those honest heartfelt stories that touch us the most, so much so that we are compelled to act.  The first time I heard this story I was ashamed. I have a closet full of shoes and still find myself saying, I need that new trendy pair of heels for that perfect outfit.  It is then that I truly grasped what it meant to be selfish.

It is a, very moving story, and a good example showing and telling us never forget the underprivileged people, especially when we r going thru good times, that's when we usually unconsciously forget them.
