An old Lili meets Harry, a shivering kid, on a frigid evening. Harry begs Lili for help, desperate and alone, and Lili’s kind heart can’t say no. Lili takes a courageous stance and starts a path of hope and rescue as Harry discloses the appalling realities of his foster home.
Shivering in the chilly night air, Lili, with her silver hair and kind eyes, returned home carefully. She saw a small youngster, maybe ten years old, cuddled up against a light. His small jacket did nothing to keep the bitter cold out of his body.
With shaking hands, the child murmured, “Excuse me, ma’am.” “May I accompany you home? It’s quite chilly, and I have nowhere else to go.
Lili felt sorry for him. “Obviously, my love,” she murmured softly. “Let’s get you.”
She took Harry into her warm house, the warmth within a dramatic contrast to the bitter cold outside. She made hot chocolate and cookies swiftly and led Harry to a chair by the fireplace. Harry’s eyes brightened as he enjoyed the sweetness and warmth.
Lili made a police call while they were sitting by the fire to make sure Harry was safe. Harry talked candidly about the appalling circumstances of his foster home. Lili said, heartbreaking, “No child should have to go through that.”
Harry held Lili’s hand when the cops came. She gave him comfort and promised to drop by again soon with more cookies. Harry reluctantly nodded and followed the cops out of the room.
When Lili checked on Harry the next day, she was shocked to see that he had been sent back to his foster home. Resolved, she decided to act alone. Under false pretenses, she paid a visit to Harry’s foster home and verified her concerns over the living circumstances of the kids.
Lili led Harry and the other kids to safety that evening after saving them. When the cops stepped in, the kids were at last safe.
Lili, who is now Harry’s adoptive mother, went to see the other kids who had been saved a year later. Lili’s heart grew glad to see them prospering and happy. “Liz, I’m so happy you came across us that evening. Our lives were transformed by you, Harry said. With passion blurring her eyes, Lili gave him a firm handshake. No, Harry. Every one of you altered mine.
