Saturday I put up some of my stash for sale, included was a piece of Navy blue with white stars. It sold within seconds. This morning I received this message:
Hi Mimom, I work a 14 hour day on Saturdays and did not get a chance until now to check out your sale. Would you please let the buyer of #1 - Navy blue with stars - know that I am desperate for 1/4 yd of this fabric? I make small flags for veterans and caskets of deceased soldiers. It looks like this fabric (thanks for the ruler on the side) is absolutely the right size for a field of 50 stars in them. I've been searching and I missed it. 1/4 yd would go a long way in making them and/or their families very happy. I passed the message on to the person who bought the fabric and she replied: Please cut the 1/4 yard and pass it on to her for me. I'll pay the full price but she is welcome to the 1/4 yard. Thanks, Joanne I offered Joanne any piece of fabric from my stash and she declined. If the whole world was like these people, we wouldn't have wounded soldiers. Kim mimom |

Thank you for sharing this story. |
that, indeed, was very generous. i had the same experience yesterday... i was selling a used refrigerator on CL. the sale was pending when i got an email from Jeff. i explained that the sale was pending and i'd notify him if it didn't go through. Jeff replied that he was desperate for the refrig. i emailed Susan explaining his desperation and she said to let Jeff buy it instead, as she was not desperate for it.

It seems that we forget the generosity of most people because of a few bad apples. I try to believe that the generous ones far outnumber the others. Thanks for the story.
