This is a remarkable woman.....
I met with a client who is getting ready to put her father's house for sale as a short sale.
House and hospice
When we met, she introduced me to a woman whose husband is dying and will need hospice care. Because the woman needed help and had nowhere to go, my client offered her father's house for them to stay, with the stipulation that they will allow realtors to show the house.
The house is vacant, but my client arranged to have furniture set up for their comfort, brought in a washer and a dryer, had the place thoroughly cleaned and disinfected.
Turns out that she had just met this couple. And when she found out they needed help, she didn't hesitate for a moment to jump in.
WHY?
When I asked why she risked having people in a house she's trying to sell, as a short sale, no less, and the fact that the husband is terminal and may die at the house which makes it even more difficult to sell, she stated simply: "I'm doing it in honor of my father."
It's a beautiful house, but one she can not maintain (or afford to buy herself) after her father passed away less than a year ago. She personallly supervised making the house handicapped accessible because her father was an amputee.
As for helping this couple, who, until just a few weeks ago were total strangers, she said what she is doing is something her father would have approved.
Other acts of kindness
In the past, she had also driven around several cities and rescued small dogs. She trained, socialized and cared for them until they were ready to be adopted. She has a three-legged dog that was left for dead at a shelter. He was hit by a car. His leg was totally mangled. He was dropped off at the shelter in this horrible condition. Upon hearing about, and seeing him, she took over his medical care.Today, he's happily jumping and running on three legs, playing with his two sisters whom she also rescued.
Goodness personified
I look at this woman, and I see pure goodness and love. May we meet more people like her to serve as an inspiration for kindness.
