    Thank you Martin for sharing this inspirational piece of real news.
    If the major news networks would dedicate one slot for "GOOD NEWS" every day, the world really would be a better place... stories of selfless giving are infectious & would inspire others to act similarly.
    I mean, do we really have to know about celebrities moving home on news at ten?!?!?

    Hoorah to the lovely MSE member who has no doubt also fed the spirit of the family she sent the groceries to.

    I feel all warm & fuzzy on the inside now... why don't we have a forum for sharing kindness? We could have it so you can tell a nice thing you did, or tell when something nice happens to you through the kindness of strangers.

    What a wonderful story.

    So many people I've come across on this forum are genuine, kind people who do much to help out another, whether that be with advice, time, discount spotting, deal searching and so many other ways.

    Hopefully the dad in the original story will find himself in a more solvent position soon and will be able to be another inspiring story which helps those starting out on the road to dealing with their debts.
