Hi, I’m Frank for Real Story.  

A pizza shop called Rosa’s in America allows his customers to pre-purchase slices of pizza for those in need. It warms up many homeless people and help them out of the street. Its owner is Mason Wartman. At Rosa’s, customers can do something very special: pay forward slices of $1 pizza for those in need with Post-It Notes. The customers show compassion toward the people in their community by buying a slice in advance that a homeless person can enjoy for free later on. 

People are saying that getting these people to just walk in and get a free pizza won't help them get off the street. I think the purpose of doing this is not just giving free pizza to the homeless, but trying to give them the spirit to be strong, providing for people so that they have enough energy to get through the day and find a new job. So they're not doing it for nothing.

This is such a cool idea. $1 is small change to most people, but can make a huge difference to homeless people. Wartman added that people “get to come in here, sit down, relax and then go back out and try to build their life back up and it’s great to provide that to them.”

But perhaps even more special are the customers who were once in a bad luck of their life and are now returning to pay it forward themselves. A customer called Dunn said:“Each little thing that you do really can have a tremendous impact.” “It makes me excited for the future.”

*** Wartman’s and his customers’ voice****

They are Wartman and his customers. I hope they will keep giving the $1 pizza to the homeless, and help them off the street. It is better to give than receive, like the saying goes, I believe this is true.
