They offered him a sandwich and thereafter became good friends.
Her encounter with Edward changed everything
After that encounter with Edward, little Hailey was said to have suggested to her mum ways they could be of help to other homeless persons in their community.
She started a farm whose produce would be given to Edward and other people in the community.
Hailey upon successfully being able to donate 128 pounds worth of fresh fruits and vegetables to the poor, kicked off building little homes for them.
The little humanitarian was able to achieve this with help from her mother.
She occasionally documents her activities on her Facebook page Hailey's Harvest and has been inspiring people to do good.

The lady said she rebooked the flight and had gone to the airport restroom while waiting for her baggage when the unexpected happened.
Cyn said she was checking her make-up at the airport restroom when she heard a woman crying so hard. Startled, she had listened carefully and heard the woman wailing and speaking in Spanish.
