The Gift Card That Came Through the Right Door
My youngest had a fever and I was calculating which bills to skip to buy medicine and groceries. I’d been in the program two weeks — barely. That afternoon, my penpal sent a grocery gift card, no reason given, just “for whenever.” It covered everything I needed. To this day I don’t know how to explain it except: I needed it, and it came.
