Julio Diaz bought his mugger some dinner and possibly changed the teenager’s life. The man earlier handed over his wallet to the knife-wielding teen, and as a result had to ask for it in order to pay the tab at the diner. (When he got his wallet back he gave the kid $20 and likely a new lease on life.) Read about this unusual encounter – or listen to Julio in his own words – at National Public Radio’s StoryCorps page.
I’m certain Julio was able to turn the teen around through his kindness. Fantastic story.
That teen will be changed forever. A very inspirational story, it lifted my spirits like everything else in this website.
