I received this letter from my Sister, you can tell she is quite tired and frazzled. After living in 3 different shelter type places I do not blame her. As A rule she does not use cap locks, lol. =)

 

THERE WAS A MILLIONAIRE WHO FLEW UP TO NORTH DAKOTA
TO PASS OUT $200 TO EVERY FLOOD VICTIM HE COULD FIND. HE HAD ACTUALLY
HEARD ABOUT MOM'S AND MY STORY AND KNEW THAT SHE WAS 81 YEARS OLD AND
DIABETIC. HE CAME INTO THE BOARD OF EDUCATION TO FIND ME, BUT I WAS OFF
THAT DAY TRYING TO GET FEMA BUSINESS TAKEN CARE OF AND TO SALVAGE SOME
THINGS FROM MOM'S HOUSE. HE LEFT AN ENVELOPE WITH $200 IN IT FOR ME AND
ANOTHER ENVELOPE FOR SOMEONE ELSE THAT MIGHT BE IN NEED. I SPLIT THE
$200 IN MY ENVELOPE WITH MOM. SHE DID GO BUY SOME THINGS THAT SHE NEEDED.
 I
HAVE NOT SENT THIS MAN A THANK YOU YET, AS THINGS ARE SO HECTIC EACH DAY
RIGHT NOW. I INTEND TO WRITE A VERY HEARTFELT LETTER AND ADD THAT MOM'S
PURSE WAS STOLEN...MAYBE HE WILL BLESS HER AGAIN. THAT WAS REALLY AN
AWESOME EXPERIENCE THOUGH. THIS GUY AND A FRIEND HOP IN THEIR PLANES AND
HEAD TO THE LATEST DISASTERS AND HAND OUT ENVELOPES WITH MONEY. THEY HAD
JUST BEEN TO JOPLIN BEFORE COMING HERE. LIFE IS HARD, BUT GOD IS GOOD.

I'm sorry that your sister and your mom are going through that, but it is exciting to see wealthy people that aren't being stingy with their wealth. And I'm pretty sure since this guy is handing out cash and personally that he can't get a tax write off on it. I could be wrong though, but if I'm right that this makes him all the more a good hearted person.

That is exactly what I said Kimberli!!!! This Man is a Saint! I wish I won a the lottery and could do the samething as well! =) My husband says he has to be more then a millionaire or he would not be able to do that. All I care about, is that he is doing it! =)
