#34: Every Bit Counts
The following is a touching account of a young woman’s selfless act of finding an anonymous way to support her financially struggling aunt. It’s possible the author doesn’t think $50 is a big deal, but I have no doubt that it means a lot to her aunt.
Her annoyance that her teenage cousins don’t chip in to help the family out of financial straits puzzles me, but then again, maybe they’re 19 and not 13. Until their mother establishes limits and standards, they will continue to refuse to pitch in. It’s great that the niece can pitch in until then.
