He only had one request: that his lunch came in a brown paper bag. She offered to leave lunch for him to pick up from her doorman. Laura soon realized that Maurice often went hungry in the days between their meetings. For her safety, Maurice made her promise to never come back to his apartment. His mother was intoxicated, but his grandmother signed the slip, and off they went. But when he didn’t arrive, she went to his home and saw the horrible living conditions. Laura sent Maurice with a permission slip for his mother to sign allowing her to take him to the game. Eventually, she invited him to her home for a meal, and then to baseball games.
