A Comment Heard in Passing becomes a Random Act of Kindness . . Pay it Forward
I had caught a comment made by a friend of a friend about needing a chest of drawers for a bedroom. The person making the comment was an elderly woman that lived alone and was having a tough time. As I was assisting a client to empty a home as their family member was confined to a nursing home, I made a pitch for the chest of drawers that was going to charity.
I arranged for one of my nephews to help me move the chest. we picked it up, called the woman and told her we were coming over.
As we placed it in her bedroom, she was ecstatic. It fit perfectly, was obviously a very high quality piece of furniture and the colors matched.
We thought we were done, but not to be. Before we left, we rearranged her furniture moved a few more pieces of furniture, and dropped salt into her water softener.
As we were walking away from the house, she mentioned something about taking down some trees around the house, but we just let her know we weren't insured for that.
It took a couple of hours of our time, but it was well worth it for the smile on her face.
