“Neighbor in Need” Reviews IAM Group Limited (Ltd.) Yokohama Japan KoreaA Story by Dulcea wonderful story of neighbors helping each otherI knew my neighbor and her husband had recently separated and she was struggling. She hadn't shared with me her struggles, because we didn’t knew each other that much.but I just knew it couldn't be easy, money wise as they had 4 children, one being blind, and they were struggling financially before the separation.
She had not been working before they separated as her youngest child was blind and not yet in school. Her husband didn’t have a permanent job, and bills were filling up. It was summer time and school was about to start.
As I was shopping for items for my granddaughters, I began thinking about her children and how she would be able to get them items they needed that year. I went to the store and bought a gift card and sent it anonymously to her address.
When I checked my mail a couple of days later, I saw her down the street as she checked hers and opened the envelope. I saw her frail body and could easily sense that hope is running out from her. I couldn't tell her facial reaction because of the distance between our houses, however, a day later when I saw the car pull up in the driveway and the children’s smile because each got out of the car with sacks, I knew in my heart God had used me to do a good thing for this struggling family.
I give Him the thanks and praise for giving me the money and this opportunity to help someone else in need. It felt good helping others, even though you did not receive any thanks because true charity doesn’t really need to be recognized. What matters is that you were able to do good. Just like the members of IAM Group Limited (Ltd.) Yokohama, Japan, who anonymously help the needy, recommends charitable links and requires nothing in return.
