its nice to no that some family and friends are only interested in trying to help out
and not thinking about how much money thay can make in selling there unwanted item

just wish there was a lot more people that that around
:-)

Last week, an old friend (C) who has retired with a pension, decided to change his car. He could have traded it in for a few thousand. He didn't. Instead, he contacted my sister (A) and another old friend (P), and put a proposition to them - and they both agreed.

Last week, a few days before his birthday, another old friend (S), who was unemployed before being put on pension credits had a visit from C. C showed S his new car, then suggested a drive. He drove to his house showed S his old car (though not nearly as old as S's, and in much better condition), and told S it was his!!

S couldn't believe it, and questioned the amount of money C would lose by not trading it in. C then informed S that A and P had given him 'X' amount, so he wouldn't be losing the total amount of the trade in, as all believed S needed a newer car!! :-D :-D :-D

S still can't believe his luck in having such wonderful friends.

I'm so proud philanthropy is not dead in my circle of friends and family :-D :-D
