Toddler gifts money to begging man, but keeps her boundaries
It's okay to want to give but also have boundaries.
If we could, we would save everyone from a poverty-stricken life.
But we live in a world that is overcome with so much that is out of our control, and the only thing we think helps is doing what we can with what we have.
A young girl who was videoed by her mom donating some cash to a man who was not well-to-do has gone viral.
The video that was posted on TikTok got more than seven-million views and showed the man try to push his hand through the half-opened window to shake the child's hand.
The young girl gets overwhelmed when he tries to reach out to her and begins crying.
Many people had an opinion about it, but young Delia's mother responded so eloquently.

There were a few naysayers who judged the child for reacting the way she did, but people came in to defend the child's actions. Many of them said that they too wouldn't shake his hand.
What we absolutely loved and respected was Delia's mother's response to it. She posted the same video again with the original sound and it read: "I think any child would react like that……and as much as she is kind av taught her to have boundaries with strangers."
