My family is experiencing a financial hardship. Things I used to buy and take for granted are now major expenditures. Bills that used to be paid on time and without effort, are now late, partial, or unpaid.
This weekend, my daughter's dance studio was in a competition. I couldn't afford the entry fees. The Dance Company, Tremaine, gave my daughter an honorary scholarship, so that she could go. This meant so much to us. My daughter was feeling pretty badly since she was the only one from the studio not able to go. Then a family at the studio, invited Katie and me to stay with them. They understood that we couldn't afford to pay anything....and they let us stay anyway! These are good people!
Grandma and Papa gave us the food money we needed. This too was so appreciated!
I'm also thankful that the bulk of dance was paid for before we experienced the financial difficulties. My daughter lives for dance. She'd have been miserable if she had to quit now!
These acts of kindness really mean so much, especially since so many people in today's world just seem to think about themselves. I hope to someday be in a position to pass this kindness forward!
