A Success
He too had little hope when he had started on this case. But their perseverance and hard work made it a success. So, when they heard about a bank account on his name, it put them in disbelief.
Over Now
His ordeal was over now. Which implies that he would not have to live on the streets anymore. Gone are the days when he used to sleep by hugging himself tight so that he could get some warmth in teeth-clattering winter.
A House
Now finally, he could get himself a house. A real house made of stones and bricks and not of cardboard boxes. The man had no words to express his feelings. Life had been playing games with him since the time he relocated to the U.S.
Two Guardian Angels
The man would have never remembered or found about his bank account had Inman and the officer not stepped in to help him. Had they not taken interest in his life story, Helinski would still be sleeping on streets and living in a home made of cardboard boxes.
Just Like A Dream
Helinski explained, “I guess I’m exhilarated, excited, you know.” The man deserved to be this much happy as this was the first time he had felt happy in three years. The first thing that the homeless man thought was to get himself home. He thought of renting a small apartment with his deposit.
Close Call
Inman was still in disbelief. He said, “This situation looked really difficult, and I wasn’t sure how it was going to end up.” “If it failed, it meant we’d put a 62-year-old man on the street, and Officer McDonald and I were not OK with that,” he added.
