A

[2020·惠州市高三调研]Life on the street is a constant struggle for homeless people. In times of extreme weather conditions, that struggle becomes even more difficult. Recently, homeless people across Chicago faced freezing to death if they couldn't find shelter for the night.

Thankfully, one local woman refused to let that happen. On January 30,2018,34yearold Candice Payne, a local managing broker, was lucky enough to have shelter from the dangerous  conditions.

“It was 20 ℃ , and I knew they were going to be sleeping  on ice and I had to do something\” said Payne. Payne started  brainstorming different ways she could possibly help. Finally, she  decided to see if there were any rooms available at local inns and  hotels that she could get to help those stuck on the street.

For Payne, her mission was personal. According to Payne,  her husband, Carlos Callahan, had lived on the streets at one  point in his life. Based on his experiences, Payne knew that the homeless people still out on the street desperately needed help and that if she didn't step up to help, no one likely would.

However, when Payne explained what she was trying to do, many of the local hotels refused to allow her to pay for the rooms as they didn't want homeless people to stay in their rooms. “No one wanted them, but one hotel, the Amber Inn, was nice enough to allow me to buy the rooms\” said Payne.

Payne's selfless act made news across the country. However, she insisted she had never done it for attention.“I am a regular person\” said Payne, who spent thousands of dollars of her own money to help complete strangers.“It all sounded like a rich person did this, but I'm just a little black girl from the South Side.\
