One of our fellow employees has had a very bad run of luck the last few months. Her husband was laid off, her insurance hadn't kicked in yet (she's only worked with us a couple of months) and she has a toodler who was recently hospitalized. She missed a couple of mortgage payments and the had recived notice the bank was going to foreclose in Jan. She was definately looking at a very "hard-candy Christmas".
Here comes the happy ending!
We discussed it at work and decided this year we'd foregoe the usual gift exchange and "Secret Santa" and instead we collected the money and raised $1200! We were able to save her house from foreclosure. The bank is also going to work out a new payment plan with her.
Beats the coffee mugs and what not we normally give each other at work.
this was truly a learning experience for me. I saw housekeepers and technicians who make a fraction of what i do giving without a second thought. i was humbled and awed.
