Reply #3: I ran across a similar situation today

[Droopy]

A woman that works at my local Subway restaraunt just got an estimate to have her car repaired and she doesn't have the money to get it done. She was relating this story to one of her coworkers when I walked in then she started crying and had to leave the counter. I really felt for her and I wish I could have done something, but I'm not exactly well off, either. And to have something like that happen this time of year, too, makes it even more heartbreaking.

I made a pact with myself while I was sitting there eating lunch that if I ever have a lot of money, I'm going to go around helping people like her.
