A good deed helps family in need


To the editor:

My husband and I lost our work car in a fire on Sept. 7. We were not sure how we were going to continue to work. We have been delivering The Daily Citizen newspaper for five years and did not want to quit our job. We have come to know so many of our customers over the years and we knew that each one of them depended on us every morning. We had to drive our Jeep that needs a transmission and was not sure how long it would hold up. But every night we would pray that we would make it through.

Amswering our prayers our customers and some people we don't even know pulled together and bought us a car. They were able to buy us a 1995 Chevy Lumina. What a blessing that was. We want everyone to know we could never tell them enough how grateful we are. It was such a blessing to know we could continue working and provide for our children. It just amaze's us how much people do care and pulls together to help one another.

We send out our deepest thanks to everyone who gave and who continued to pray for our family.
