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.

Tina wrote: What a wonderful gesture and extremely generous gift you gave your friend. Gifting her a brand new dependable vehicle, but most of all you gave her peace of mind. She won't worry about transportation or worry where she was going to get the money to purchase a car. Wish there were more people like you in the world. Blessings.
