Story 1:
I argued with my boyfriend and he made me leave our home. I cried at work. My boss asked me to stay with him and told me he had a wife. He explained everything to her but she looked upset. They started complaining to each other. She came over, looked me in the eyes, and said “I know what you need to do.” “Get into the car.”
We drove back home while I shared about my three-year relationship with my partner. When we got there, she stepped out of the car with me. We knocked on the door and my boyfriend answered.
She threatened to call the police because he forced me out of our house which I partly owned! She warned him that cops would know he had taken from me before too many times! She was so strong that he got scared and decided to leave until we could sort things out.
I moved back in & two months later sold the house! Of course, I never talked to him again but I cherish that day because she taught me how to stand up for myself & not let anyone take away my rights.
Story 2:
My husband & I were low on groceries with just $9 so we went shopping for bread eggs milk etc.. While waiting in line behind us was a woman who only had one item so we let her go ahead! Because we did this she paid for our stuff plus gave us a $50 Walmart gift card!
Now whenever I’m at any grocery store or fast-food place & see someone struggling to pay for something, I jump in to help cover their costs or pay for what’s behind mine! I’ll always remember how she helped when it wasn’t necessary!
Story 3:
My neighbors wanted to borrow my truck but I told them no since its tires were bad.
The next day Mr Neighbor called saying he’d get new tires for his Suburban & offered his old ones! He told me to just show up at this tire shop where they would put them on.
When I arrived they put brand-new Goodyear tires on instead!
I asked what happened to those old tires. The shop owner said it was all part of getting people into their shop; Mr Neighbor bought new ones instead!
Story 4:
A few years ago I suffered from a stroke which left me feeling sad and confused.. My insurance company often left after doctor visits without help; once after an appointment, I waited nine hours till my phone died!
Luckily found all-night care across the street where the staff paid for a ride home plus gave pizza and water!! Since then I’ve sent them gifts every year!
