I found this in my mailbox from

Dear friends and Friends-of-Angel,

A funny thing happened earlier this week: random paypals started appearing in my inbox, many of them from people I don't even know. It turns out my dear friend Angel, aware of the catastrophe in which I am currently stuck, held something of a "bake sale." I don't know all the details because she is a sneaky little elf and didn't tell me about it.

Suffice to say I am floored into uncharacteristic speechlessness by the generosity of friends and strangers. Because you probably don't know me: I'm a single mom with two jobs, and just got hit with a pay cut - which beats getting laid off - and a huge car repair bill at the same time. Life, man. It sure can grab you at the wrong time.

Your generosity means my son eats this month, in an apartment with electricity. There aren't words for that.

Thank you for your kindness and willingness to help someone you might not even know. I believe in Pay It Forward, and will do my part once we are back in the black. In the meantime, enjoy whatever Angel offered, and give her your continued support in her endeavors. She is an angel in the true sense of the word.
