This is the story of the loyal meeting between successful woman Roberta and homeless Elmer. And although these two seem dissimilar at first glance, they share something.<br/>Elmer expected nothing in return, yet he received something priceless. A new chance to start your life.<br/>The project they are working on now will not make them any money because the goal is to help those in need. Profit is the furthest thing from their minds.
Roberta is a real estate agent, TV personality, and founder of the Ms. Millionaire Mindset Academy and training seminars. She is wealthy and skilled with money, except for the occasion when she lost a $10,000 check. Losing so much money is never a pleasant thing, but this time it led to something positive.
Elmer Alvarez was walking down the street when he came across a piece of paper. He had no idea it was a check. When he found out how much money was in it, he knew it could change his life, but this generous man never thought of cashing it in. He knew he had to find the owner of the money the moment he held it in his hands. That’s how he met Roberta.
Elmer expected nothing in return, yet he received something priceless. A new chance to start your life.
When Roberta heard Elmer’s life story, it reminded her of her own, when she was a young homeless mother determined to succeed for the sake of her children’s well-being.
She accomplished everything she set out to do. From homeless to millionaire. And now she had the chance to do something similar for a guy whose beliefs she once shared. Now Roberta and Elmer are working on a massive project that will undoubtedly affect the lives of many people.
Elmer is no longer on the street. Elmer’s new acquaintance finds him an apartment and pays his rent for the first seven months, giving him time to get back on his feet. He is also enrolled in real estate school. She helped him turn his life upside down.
The project they are working on now will not make them any money because the goal is to help those in need. Profit is the furthest thing from their minds.
He is building a transitional residence for struggling homeless youth who need revitalization in their lives. Both Roberta and Elmer understand how important it is to have someone to lend a helping hand when you’re alone on the street.
Elmer will be the children’s counselor after construction is complete. With such life experience, this position would be ideal for him. We believe it will help many teenagers take control of their lives.
It’s remarkable how a misplaced check can lead to something as beautiful as the joining of two people with similar past and future ambitions. Congratulations, Roberto and Elmer!
Their story is a source of inspiration for us all and encourages us to take advantage of opportunities to positively impact the lives of others. It is a reminder that even in the face of adversity, a single act of kindness can ignite a chain reaction of love and transformation.
As we ride the roller coaster of life, let’s keep in mind the opportunities we have to be kind, compassionate, and supportive of those around us. Together we can create a world where no one is left behind and everyone has a chance to start over. Roberta and Elmer’s extraordinary journey serves as a testament to the power of ordinary people coming together to make an extraordinary difference.
