Sometimes help comes to the rescue

Sometimes help comes to the rescue

My girlfriend and I are only 19, and we just moved in together.

  • My girlfriend works at a fast food restaurant and I am a waiter in a diner.

Neither one of us make a lot of money, but we found a small mobile home on a nice piece of property. We had just enough money to pay the deposit and first month’s rent. My girlfriend’s parents were really surprised when we told them that we found a place. They were angry when my girlfriend packed up her stuff and left. They never wanted us to be together in the first place. Even though I’m just a waiter, I’m a smart guy. I’m going to go places and my girlfriend knows that. We have been living a very meager lifestyle for the past few months. We had to use all of our money to secure the mobile home. My girlfriend and I even went to the food pantry for groceries. For the past few weeks, we have been living without an air conditioner. We bought the place with a small window air conditioner, but it stopped working. It was an old piece of equipment, and we were surprised it worked in the first place. It’s been miserable without any air conditioning. It’s really hot and humid, and the ceiling fan doesn’t help. Yesterday, all of that changed. One of my regular customers is an HVAC worker. We were talking about the outdoor heat and I mentioned the problem with my air conditioner. He offered to bring me an old air conditioner from the shop. I happily accepted the offer. My girlfriend and I are rarely surprised by the generosity of strangers.
