Two months later, everything had turned around. My former boss was removed from his position, I was compensated for the job I lost, and the same veterans’ organization offered me a full-time role helping others just like the man I met that night. The salary was better, the hours kinder, and—for the first time—I felt like what I did each day truly mattered.
A simple moment of compassion in a cold parking lot didn’t just change one man’s path; it changed mine too.
