An article in a local newspaper spurred Amy Murphy to ask a local fried chicken restaurant if she could have their leftovers at the end of the night. With the help of friends, the Chicken Lady sets up the equivalent of a pop-up restaurant every Monday to serve her homeless friends. Murphy does not consider what she does "feeding the homeless," rather, it is serving friends. They are part of the same community - she is a part of their lives, and they are a part of hers.

    Thanks all. You are so kind. The truth is that I receive a blessing many times over from this work - much more than the other way around. My friends have changed my life. If you'd like to read more about this work and how it has evolved, check out my blog, wwww.themiraclesIsee.org. I have learned so much: it does not help to simply give to folks who are in need. If we give food, if we give housing, we are only addressing symptoms - and it has zero lasting effect. If, on the other hand, we mentor families - find out why that child is coming to school hungry - and assist folks as they deal with the CAUSES of hunger and homelessness, then we can, as a community, move mountains. It really will take a huge "village." Bless you for your caring hearts. Amy

    She put herself out there...and made the sharing personal. She looks them in the eye, instead of looking away. She is sharing from her heart, and that's how Amy really helped these people BE a part of the community. Because of her big heart they are not sitting on the edge of a community, she has expanded the community and made it inclusive. Beautiful! Thank you Chicken Lady for your example!

    Here's to serving our friends. Here's to "we are the same." Because we are <3

    It is the attitude with which Amy shares her love. "We are the same" "They just didn't have help." And that she appreciates that they don't resent her. They don't because she removed any barriers or judgment. What a beautiful person. I'd love to meet her!

    Anyone can be a hero. It just takes a heart and initiative, and others will come around to help out. She's wonderful and an inspiration.

    I LOVE LOVE LOVE this: "serving friends" - beautiful - and how graceful of those friends to not resent her - each such important lessons. I am humbled, awed, moved, and in adoration and admiration for all those in this video.

    Appreciated "serving friends" and also when she said the recipients did not hold it against her that she went home at night to a home. Amy felt that she received acceptance from the folks that shared the food. I received 2 valuable insights from this video. Beautiful.

    i was impressed that she acted on her generous impulse; created a full meal for them with side dishes; is humble; got to know them as people; saw that the only difference was their lack of a support system. Thanks for including this in your library, Karma Tube support team.
