The giver had no idea that my electricity was about to be disconnected

Clemmons, North Carolina—

Some time ago, I left an abusive husband in October of that year. I had very little money and had only recently started a new job. It was a very emotional time. One evening I came home from work to find a jar on my stoop. There was a note attached – the person said they didn’t know me but were led to give me the jar. There was $75.00 in bills & change in that jar. The giver had no idea that my electricity was about to be disconnected and that money allowed me to pay the bill without having to worry which other bill I was going to have to leave unpaid to take care of it. My heart was filled with love and I have prayed for this person many times in the years since this incident.
