Grandchildren to the Rescue


--by lindsgran, posted Nov 9, 2009

While I was away for a brief holiday recently, I had my purse stolen from my handbag.  It contained birthday money  from my grandchildren, a small amount of my own money, and my bank card.  Since my bank card was stolen, I could not withdraw any money from the cash machine.  Being so far from home, I was in a difficult situation.

My family assured me that money was there if i needed it, that they would buy me anything I required.  However, that idea did not go down too well with my grandaughters, as they felt that I should have some spending money.  So they started a collection among themselves to replace the money I had lost, and convinced their parents to chip in as well.

This was entirely the idea of the younger ones, who do not have much money and who had saved up all year for this trip, which was a birthday gift to me from my family.  I feel very blessed to have such loving grandchildren.  I am very proud that they held out a helping hand to me.
