Good Samaritan Chicago real estate broker books hotel rooms for 100 homeless people

[The Hill] More than 100 homeless people in Chicago were given a warm place to stay with fresh clothes and food as temperatures dived below zero thanks to Candice Payne, a 34-year-old real estate broker from the Windy City.

Payne came into national prominence earlier this week after she not only used her credit card to book 30 hotel rooms for homeless people amid record low temperatures in Chicago, but also organized a caravan of trucks and cars to provide them transportation and made them care packages.

Payne told The New York Times in an interview on Saturday that she made the decision to help in a "spur-of-the-moment."

"It was 50 below, and I knew they were going to be sleeping on ice and I had to do something," she continued.

According to The Times, Payne paid $70 per room for all 30 rooms when she made the booking at the local Amber Inn on Wednesday night. At the time, temperatures in Chicago reportedly reached a low of 25 degrees.

#1 for only one night? I would help her extend the stays for at least until the deep freeze is over.

She did a really good thing.

Were the Inuit asked to comment?

She did good. You have a population that has failed in 'adaptation to environment' cause by other people who insist in feeding the bear artificially altering the environment.
