Tuesday night, Ashley Meilleur gave a homeless woman the remains of her lunch in her lunch bag at a traffic light. She didn't realize it at the time, but her cellphone was in the bag.

The homeless woman contacted her and made sure her phone got returned.

Meilleur now wants to repay the homeless woman by giving her a cellphone with a two-year plan to pay it forward.

She also wants to help her find a job.

She posted the story online and already others have contacted her willing to donate to the cause. Her contact email is: thelendinghand@hotmail.com

Her website for The Lending Hand Winnipeg group is: https://www.facebook.com/wpglendinghands

So far, Ashley hasn’t been able to locate find the woman so is driving around looking for her.

She's also inspired to help others on the street and is collecting gift cards to hand out on Christmas Day.
