Yesterday I posted about 200 people who lost their homes and all their possessions in an apartment fire. 19 Families were living in the local High School.
Today, I read that an anonymous donor gave $1,000,000 to the fire victims. That is over $17,000 for each leaseholder!
Maria Aguilar broke down crying. “We for sure need it,” she said. “Because what I have on, that’s just what we have. Nothing else.”
Jackie Weller says she’ll be able to get a new apartment, bed and couch.
“There might be a Grinch, but he’s not in Burnsville Minnesota, that’s for sure,” Weller said.
What an amazing act of caring and generosity. Lately we’ve heard so many stories about greed, selfishness, and corruption. But this story stands in sharp contrast.
I truly believe that most people are good and will do the right thing when given the chance.
God bless and Merry Christmas to All!
