At the door of the church there was an eighty-year-old old woman begging for alms and next to her a mother with two girls, a woman who had recently arrived in the city, displaced from a town by violence, the old woman looked at her and her daughters, The woman told her, “Madam, what a shame!” Am I invading your space? The old woman immediately told her: no, calm down, there is something for everyone here, we are going to fit in heaven as we are not going to fit here, the woman was very grateful and introduced herself, I am Ana and my two daughters Luna and Paloma, the old woman smiled and said, what beautiful names! and the girls too.
The old woman asked the woman where she was living and she told her that she was paying rent daily, while she saw what she could do; Fifteen days passed and the two women had become friends, they kept each other company and they both received alms so they could both survive. One day when it was time to leave, the old woman said to the woman, would she like to go live with me in my house? I live alone, my house is not luxurious, it is small, but I have a spare room where I have two beds, one for you and the other for your two girls; Upon hearing that, the woman thanked him and she began to cry for such a kind heart. They went to the tenement to pick up the clothes and went to the old woman’s house, a small but very pretty and neat black-built house, it was full of flowers, it had simple living room furniture, a wooden dining room, a television, the small kitchen that, along with the bathroom, was the only one finished in ceramic, money that he had saved for years, two very comfortable rooms, ventilated and illuminated, in the lady’s and girls’ room he saw that the beds were new, and it was full of toys, stuffed animals and a small closet. The old woman told her: Ana make yourself comfortable, here you can live with me and from today we can become a family, here there is a grill if you want you can sell arepas so you don’t have to leave the house and you can stay with the girls, I keep going to the church to ask, Ana delightedly accepted the offer and a year later the old woman no longer had to return to the church because Ana had set up a barbecue, with that the four of them lived comfortably, the girls began to study and they formed a home. Thanks to the kind heart of that old woman Ana and the girls never endured cold and hunger again.
