Thanks to people who care
Thread title is a bit off but saying it as I wished would not fit.
I would personally like to thank anyone who has ever helped anyone for any reason. Doesn't have to be an annual thing like a holiday help. Just if you have ever simply helped another human being then thank you from me. You are a good person. Our local Ruritan found out about us when we had no water and today they came by with two boxes of food for us to be sure we had something for Thanksgiving. Just out of the blue. I was not expecting it. Actually was kind of feeling the 'omg I dont deserve this' as usual thing for me. I had made a homemade banana pudding today so I gave them a bowl each of that. I sometimes feel like I need to do something when something is done for me...silly ya. Wife is really sick today and them coming by was just so great actually. Such a kind group. To them I thank you from us both.
But to anyone who has helped someone thanks again. Small or large Im sure the person who received the help was very thankful and perhaps embarrassed. If they forgot to say thanks then know they were and I thank you for them. OO is a group of very caring and smart people and Im sure there are many more than I can even think of on here that have helped others.
In keeping with this post Ill link this story of a good deed. A homeless guy gave a stranded girl his only $20 to get her gas to see her safely to her destination. She has now raised $63,000 for him in return. Remarkable.

Not saying to donate just simply posting a good deed.
Lastly to those who are sick or in need or know someone like this then I hope and pray you get the help and love you need in your trying time. No one should be of want at any time holiday or not. And to MHS, bless you. You're kind, you're smart,you're beautiful inside and out, you're patient, and you seem to have a loving family. May God, good thoughts, love, and any redhead loving fairy Godmother find their way to you and see you well quick and easily as possible.
Happy Thanksgiving all.

Cant leave without again a huge thank you and a blush to those who gave on here to help us with our water. Bless you all so so much!

Happy Thanksgiving Daehawk! That's a great story you linked, thanks for sharing. The world really is full of goodness.
I have a lot more to be thankful for than many, including a wonderful family and someone willing to get cut open to give me a life saving organ. What more could anyone want?
Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Re: Thanks to people who care
very kind of you Daehawk
Happy Thanksgiving.
I'm working, but my wife and son understands this is what I like to do around the holidays. I really enjoy going in to see my patients and helping take care of them this time of the year.
No matter how awful our fellow man can be to each other, people are generally good.

Re: Thanks to people who care
When I lived in New Orleans I had a job in Baton Rouge one day and my car broke down half way there. I had to hitchhike back. This old man gave me a ride the 50 miles back to my house and loaned me $100 to boot to get my car repaired.
That was 40 years ago and to this day I am still thankful and amazed at this old man.

Up to $290k now. Hope the guy is able to get back on his feet.

Re: Thanks to people who care
This. While the intent is obviously in the right place, it’s shameful that so many vets end up like this due to poor post- service healthcare (or not enough).

$360k . He was on tv. they asked him if he was going to buy a house and he seemed really shy about it all. Stated he would get a home didn't have to be a house. He wants to share it with others and help a lot of other people. Seemed very humble about it all. He actually told them to take the GoFundmMe down and when they did for 12 minutes they got a lot of hate and angry people saying they wanted to donate and to put it back up so they had to.
I think the guy just wants to have a place to live and get by while helping others. He said he didn't expect anything for that $20./ Someone gave it to him and he was just passing it on.
