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. |
You will have good feelings from your good deed for years to come. What you did was great!

You and your hubby are very kind and caring people. Bless you.

These stories are the thing that makes me think no matter how bad this world seems, there is goodness out there. Long may it prevail.
You are good people. |
A true American story! I don't know anyone here on this side of the ocean who would even think to do something like that. Bless you.

LOVE this story. Thanks.

I often wonder about these panhandlers I see in town. Most look as if they are able bodied and have a place to live. I suppose they do this as an alternative to working maybe. I won't give to these people.
We have to go into town tomorrow for a post-op visit with the surgeon. I have a few more goodies for the young family. Along with last weekends drop off, I had two 5 foot stuffed fish (a catfish and a salmon) I am sure the boys loved them. |
