Best $$ I ever spent in keeping it postive

Over the past few years, I have made various facebook (and other site) friends. You read, over time, about their ups and downs.
One couple - my age - 60s - had been basically homeless - staying with friends, then the friends moved, staying in short term hotels (EXPENSIVE), etc. They started a gofundme account while waiting for Social Security Disability to approve the wife.
Last winter, they posted that someone had offered them a used car for $1000. With a car, the husband could go to work and they could pull themselves out of the hole. I immediately sent them a check for the entire amount. I let other people help them cover insurance, etc.
The husband just posted how he was being honored by his job for GREAT work.
I am glad to have been able to make a difference in the lives of two people I have never met.

thank you. I felt ambivalent about posting - not tooting my own horn and stuff like that.
