My husband put trash in a homeless woman’s bucket

In a bustling city filled with the noise of traffic and hurried footsteps, one corner stood out as a small sanctuary for those less fortunate. It was here that a homeless woman, known for her kind eyes and hopeful smile, set her bucket each day. The bucket, a simple plastic container, often held a few coins and small bills from compassionate passersby. One sunny afternoon, a man and his wife walked down this street, engrossed in conversation. As they neared the woman, the wife reminded her husband to drop some money into the bucket. Distracted, he reached into his pocket and, without looking, dropped a crumpled piece of paper into the bucket. The woman, noticing the gesture, looked up with a hopeful expression, but her smile quickly faded when she realized it was just a piece of trash. The scene was captured on a smartphone by a bystander and quickly uploaded to YouTube. The video, titled “Husband Puts Trash in Homeless Woman’s Bucket Instead of Money,“ went viral almost instantly.
