[RK] Helped cover someone's rent and security deposit
"It is well to give when asked, but it is better to give unasked, through understanding" - Kahlil Gibran
Covered a 50 year old lady's rent and deposit on a new apartment for December - I've known her for 25 years. She had been evicted, didn't have enough for a new place, and would have been living in her van (with her cats) until January. Social services, family, etc. weren't able to help with enough to keep her off the streets, and I think she was too embarrassed/proud to ask me or anyone she knows for help. Also, she lives on the other side of the country so there was no way I could help by putting her up at my place. She was pretty surprised when I got in touch with her, asked for her bank account number, and made the deposit. Too bad I don't believe in Karma (or Jesus for that matter).
Here's part of the email she sent me: http://imgur.com/ltPiJ
Why am I posting this? I don't know. I just feel the need to tell someone anonymously. I haven't shared this with anyone else.
