Love Is Still In This World. Don't Lose Hope, Don't Give Up!

By A Friend • July 21, 2025

I just wanted to share an event that happened to mom and I this morning.

I have been reaching out to various plumbers and electricians trying to find someone to help me figure out what circuitbreaker switch shuts power off to our water heater so I could change out its elements. We have not had hot water in almost a month. Well only one AC & Plumbing company responded to me. They sent out one of their master electricians to see if he could help me. His response was well educated and unfortunate. Our water heater was pretty outdated and he said if he were to help me cut power to it and I do change elements, the water heater may work or it may not work again in such a way that we wouldn't have water at all.

This devastated me because my mother is at end stage kidney and liver failure + cholangiocarcinoma (liver cancer). And she can absolutely not go without water. I thanked him for coming out.

Later their office staff reached out and tried getting us financed at a very affordable rate. Unfortunately moms credit isn't that great due to her forgetting a lot of things including making payments on bills. I informed the ac/plumbing company of our denial and thanked them for trying.

Well this morning I get a call from the same office staff of said business. She informed me that she passed my message to the owner of the company and that his response that it was his duty to get mom and I hot water. She said the owner of the company would be coming over today to install a brand new water heater at no cost to us.

I'm tearing up again right now just writing this. I have been feeling so helpless in taking care of my mother who is on hospice care and has been given an estimated 6 to 12 months to live.

Today was a great blessing and had refilled my spiritual cup as well as reminded me that there are still people in this world that put others before themselves.

Miracles do happen and there are people in this world that truly care for their neighbors.

I just wanted to share this in hopes that it restores faith, reaffirms and brings hope to those who read this that are in need. Don't ever lose faith or hope during the storm!
