It's a story that needs to be told. Kudos to some amazingly kind people out there.
Wishing you all a Happy, Healthy and Prosperous New Year 2017.

A homeless man from Edinburgh has described the “incredible act of kindness” of a tourist who invited him to spend Christmas at her family home in Sweden.
Jimmy Fraser was begging on George Street in the city centre when Annis Lindkvist and her sister Emma, from Sagmyra in central Sweden, asked him for directions.

A nice story. It sounds like they became friends with him and exchanged messages for a while before the trip.
A happy, healthy, and prosperous New Year to all!

I'm glad this actually happened for real and they made good on their promises, Jimmy is already invited to spent the next Easter holidays with them.
Wishing you too a Happy, Healthy and Prosperous New Year 2017.
