There are people who need help around us all the time, if only we take the time to notice. In this story, a family is in the midst of a crisis, and it seems as if everything is coming apart. But thanks to the sensitivity of a Tzu Chi volunteer who takes the initiative to provide some timely inspiration, this teenager and his father find material and moral support at a difficult juncture in their lives, which rekindles their faith in the future.
