^ Unfortunately, yes. I'm not going to go into any details. I'll just say "Domestic Violence." Once this couple that lived next door, and I thought they were trustworthy; had come over to play cards and watch a movie. Well, I had just finished getting my deposit slip ready to deposit a child support payment. I was on food stamps at the time. I had them sitting on top of the deposit slip and check. They were inside a "junk drawer" in the kitchen.
We were taking turns go back and forth into the kitchen to get drinks, snacks, and preparing our meal to eat before watching a movie. I noticed my neighbors kept volunteering to go get things from the kitchen for me. I shrugged it off and didn't put anymore thought into it.
The next morning I went into the kitchen to get the things I needed for the bank and the grocery store. I opened up the drawer and it was empty!! eek I didn't have the money I needed for the rent. And I couldn't buy any groceries to feed three children and myself. I came so close to getting evicted. Thank God for charities. My sister was talking to a friend of hers about what had happened and this elderly man had over heard the conversation.
Next day, there is a knock on the door. When I opened it, there was the landlord with the rent receipt. He thanked me for paying my rent a day early and for paying enough to cover three months. I just smiled dumbly and thanked him for bringing me the receipt. About 30 minutes later, there was another knock on the door. This time, it was a group of people with a truck that were unloading boxes of food.
> Six months later I found out by accident that a small group of retired senior citizens had combined their money to pay for my rent. They got in touch with a food bank that they often sent contributions too. And that's how I got the food.
v Have you ever had anything "out of the ordinary" or "unexplainable" happen to you?
