...when I lost my wife and half of my (our) income the thing I mostly felt was being lost. I truly didn't know what t do. Getting the finances figured out and seeing how much I was suddenly in debt was a weight that I hadn't felt before. The first few weeks for a widow or widower are very traumatic. Good on these guys and this story truly gives hope that there are more caring humans out there that don't get recorded when they do good.
