Where I work we have temps come in once a year to help count inventory. Last fall one girl just really impressed us. She later got a job (still through a temporary agency) where my daughter works. My daughter just thinks the world of her and said she is one hard worker. She and her husband had recently moved here and they had no family here and didn't know anyone. About two weeks before Christmas, her husband was laid off. They have two small children. My boss and I both put $100 in an envelope with her name on it, and took it to the temporary agency that she works for. (I taught Sunday School with the owner for years, and knew she would get it the one it was for.) I told them not to tell her where the money came from. That was the best Christmas present I could have gotten.
