What a generous gesture you did!
It'd be a much better world if more people were as nice as you.

What goes around comes around and God will provide a way. You have and will continue to be blessed. Thank you for doing this for them and their children. Out of the goodness of your hearts. Awesome!

And toys for their two sons. And she had to leave her machine behind, so I gave her my spare. She told me she was working on a quilt for her son when they had to move. Now she can finish it, I sent along the needles that go with it, a bunch of thread and the feet that fit it (including the walking foot and 1/4 seam foot).
They kept trying to pay us for the stuff, I just simply told them.....
"When we were younger, someone helped us out and we were just paying it forward." And my husband told them, "we have more than enough to spare." And as we were leaving the smiles on their faces were thanks enough.

that would be so heartbreaking to leave things behind....you and DH were their angels that day....she will never forget you
