‘I couldn’t help halfway’: Oakland businessman helps single mom out of homelessness

“So the 27-year-old Oakland native, who was working as a security guard at an Alameda County building on Capwell Drive in East Oakland, started knocking on the doors of businesses for help.”

“Robert Waggener answered the door and after hearing about Harris’ plight, he called AAA. The wait gave Waggener time to talk to Harris, who couldn’t call to check on her daughter in child care because she didn’t have money to pay her phone bill.”
