A Big Gesture to Help a Friend in Need

--by tacjohnson, posted Apr 12, 2012

My friend's husband left her suddenly, taking the car and leaving her with the mortgage. She was left with 3 children to take care of.

My friend had no way to get the kids to school and get to her job on time without a car. I told her I would see to it everything will be okay. I wanted to do something to help her.

Later that day, I drove to her job and handed over the keys to a brand new Cadillac Escalade and the title. This would mean she could get her kids to school and get to her job on time.

The only thing I asked for in return was 1 dollar.
