One Kind Soul To Another
By A Friend • August 19, 2024
This is so crazy I can’t believe this happened to me. I am pregnant and started a new job working at a huge hospital. I was forced to previously resigned from my previous job because I faced discrimination for being pregnant. So much so that they didn’t even pay me my last check.
The reason why I bring this up is emphasize under a lot of stress. So much so that each week I barely was getting by. There’s was a pay cycle gap between my previous job and my current, exhausting my funds and banking on my first check to get me back on my feet.
When filling out the forms for my current job on my W4 I inputted the incorrect information. Comes payday, let’s just say my check was cut in half giving the other half right back to the government. I immediately call HR at midnight to see if the payment can be reversed.
I was blessed to have an angel answer the call. He was an older man who happened to work the midnight shift, I explained to him my situation. He told me he will see what payroll can do. Maybe it was the repressed emotions from the hardships that I faced through the months, or maybe it was my pregnancy hormones but I let out months long frustration out in tears so much so I was sobbing on how hard it’s been. I told him honestly if I don’t receive a full check, I won’t know how I can pay rent. I had all my bills due at once and exhausted my option to postponed them.
The nice older man told me he was a father and that he completely understands he said he will take care of me. I thought he just meant that he will advocate for me to payroll and help me with just navigating the resources we have available at work for employees. When payroll told me the news that we all know, they cannot reverse the money that gets taken out for taxes; he stepped in and said I can help you. I was surprised because I know of people doing good deeds, I’ve done them before all the time. I was never on the receiving end of it.
Out of his pocket he gave me the right amount I needed to pay my bills. When all hope was lost, this was the miracle that stepped in. There was no strings attached, the man simply said “I’ve been there before”.
I thanked him repeatedly for his help and will continually help those in need just like him.
