Stories of Kindness from Around the World

Sister Supports


--by ms_joy, posted Aug 18, 2017
Tonight, I did more to help out my sister whose trailer just burned down. I chatted with her, listening intently, giving encouragement throughout the day. This seemed to help her.

Knowing she contacted lots of places, to no avail, to get housing help, I checked around for her online. I emailed the Fire Department in Seminole, OK, expressing gratitude for their courage and doing their best, while also requesting resources they could refer me to for her sake.

Since she is in between jobs, and struggling with the search right now, I looked online again,  and found some local possibilities with her experience that I recall. Then, I emailed her with what I found.

I searched on Facebook for as many digital photos of her and her kids, as I could round up, so far. I found 25. Im in the process of adding them to an online storage account for her to keep keepsakes, from here forward, and remind her to photograph all of them. Then, after that's done, I'm going to order prints for her and mail them to her. I'm going to search my Onedrive acct. and my photo files for anymore I may have with her, too,

This has been a long day of kindness giving! Whew! It is so worth it!

Thanks for this very inspiring post showing how to find "real Help" and going extra mile for your sister. Your love for your sister is shown in action for without action love is of no value. May God bless you and your sister as well.

But I'm glad you're helping her - difficult as it may be for you ;-) ... and your choices of help are so wonderful ... yes, she does need the "acute" help (home, job ...) but photos / memories are so important, I believe this will be like balm for her soul ...
