Anonymous customer pays for homeless man’s lunch for six months in Budapest

Our faith in humanity is restored. One of Lipóti Bakery’s regular customers gave EUR 350 (HUF 110,000) to the bakery’s employees and asked them to use the money to feed a homeless man for six months, szeretlekmagyarorszag.hu reports.

One we have realised that burying our heads in the sand is not going to change anything, we come to the realisation that a great number of things happen every day that make us completely lose faith in humanity. However, what we should emphasize more is all the good that is happening in the world. We should be talking more about people who fight for equality, people who achieve incredible things with their talents or risk their lives to help others. This article is about an act of love and caring.

Alexandra, an employee of the Lipóti Bakery in Buda where the incident happened, told the whole story in a Facebook post.

“One of our regulars came in two weeks ago, and left HUF 110,000 (EUR 350) here, asking us to provide lunch for a homeless man every day for six months. Wow!”

Alexandra also said that although, it felt really nice that the customer trusted the bakery with such a large amount of money, at first they were a bit reluctant to grant this request.

“It is one thing if you go outside and give food to a homeless person, but it is a totally different thing to welcome him in the bistro.”
