It was the year 2019, a year that moved my life completely up to the present, among the many vicissitudes experienced, it happened that our electricity was cut off for 6 hours every day, rotating the schedule. In one of those "slumps" or fluctuations prior to cutting off the service, the hard drive of our computer was damaged, an item with which my husband works, who is the main economic breadwinner of the home since he has an embroidery venture whose designs must be worked on With the computer.
That day they had asked us for a very good economic estimate, when he saw the damaged hard drive, my husband began to ask friends, families and neighbors if they knew of someone who sold a used one in good condition. We were in the dark when a cell phone call came in, it was a neighbor who asked us to open the door, when we found him he gave us a hard drive in its brand new package, never used, my husband asked him how much? Since he was new and we didn't have enough money, how much time could he give us to pay him? He answered us... nothing, it's a gift for you.
What were the emotions you were feeling at that moment?
Before the phone call I felt depressed, many events and I was also beginning to go through the difficult moment of my son's condition, when our neighbor arrived I was filled with: gratitude first, then hope and feeling a kind of light at end of a dark tunnel
How did that act impact you? (Financially, emotionally, etc.)
Emotionally I already described it, I feel a special affection for him, financially he saved us, my husband was able to accept the job that was proposed to him and obtain the earnings for the maintenance of the home this time a little more comfortable.
Empathy is a vital feeling in human beings
. Life changes you in a second when you least expect it, even for the better
. There are human beings with kindness and generosity everywhere
. You must give without waiting to receive, blessings are not always He will bring them to whom you gave him... but they will arrive.
My family and upbringing has as its north to help, support, collaborate because we understand that it is the only way to receive when and from whom you least expect it, I never like to talk or tell about the acts of kindness that I perform, I prefer to normalize them, I respect those who do it does, but a daily act such as helping another within your possibilities should not be news
