Brighten Your Day

I fled domestic abuse with my kids and we've had an absolutely awful time getting away. We've had to move around 5 different locations but we finally moved into our forever home this weekend.

We had nothing and I'm not above begging so I did, I put a post on Facebook and begged for free or very very cheap furniture. I wasn't expecting much, but we actually did get a lot of support and a lot of welcome to the community messages.

One woman in particularly went above and beyond and just really reminded me people are still good.

She inboxed me and said she has been in my position and wanted to help, requesting my address to order us a new washing machine. When I say I cried, its not an exaggeration. It comes on Thursday and will be the first thing in our new kitchen. We are in the UK, washing machines aren't particularly cheap and this woman went out of her way to buy me, a total stranger, one.

I hope one day I can be the one to restore someone's faith in the world like she has for me.
