We all chipped in the following year

Phoenix, Arizona

I live in phoenix Arizona. It was a horrendous year for my family. My husband has terminal kidney cancer and is out of work. I have a full time job at a pre school and work nanny jobs to fill in gaps to keep up with medical, home,car repair bills.I was in the living room with 2 of my 4 children and my husband. it was around 8 o clock at night the week before Christmas. The doorbell ran we all looked at each other who is going to answer the door. My son, Christopher got up no one was standing there. He looked out and a bag was on the doorstep. He lifted it and said this was left mom , its heavy! he put it down on the table, my son Kevin opened the bag and brought out the book and jar. I was shocked and humbled by the old fashioned act of kindness. I read the book cover and stared at the jar. It was so lovely I cried. My family was so happy and said it was amazing that someone did that for us! We all chipped in the following year and did the same act of kindness.
