An Invisible Thread
by Alex Tresniowski, Laura Schroff
An Invisible Thread is the true story about how Laura Schroff, a successful advertising executive, and Maurice Mazyck, a young panhandler, cross paths one day in Manhattan and begin an unlikely friendship. Maurice, who shares one bedroom with up to 11 other family members, spends his days out on the street panhandling—his mom is busy scoring crack or selling it and doesn’t care where her son is or what he is doing. One day, he asks Laura to spare some change. At first, she walks right by him, unfazed by his request; but something tells her to turn around and return to the boy. Instead of giving him spare change, she takes him out to lunch at McDonald’s on that Monday, and every Monday after that. While Maurice is guarded at first, Laura shows him he can trust her. Laura shows Maurice love and provides him with security that he doesn’t always feel at home. Laura shares her story of how Maurice changed her life, and some of the hardships she dealt with personally before meeting him.
This was a really touching and inspiring story. It’s one thing to give money to a poor kid on the streets of New York, but Laura Schroff goes above and beyond by taking Maurice in and caring for him like a family member. It’s a great feel-good story, and it reminded me that there is hope and goodness in a world that often feels full of hatred and negativity. If you liked I Will Always Write Back, this is a good one for you!
