I remember last year I was in traffic and approached a car accident that had just happened. A young woman in a VW bug had been hit in the rear side by a older woman in an equally tiny car. The bug careened into an electric pole, and the old woman hit a fence in front of the church she’d been trying to get to. What was amazing to me was that though there were a lot of people at the scene (No cops yet, it had just happened moments ago)- NO ONE was tending to the young woman. She was still sitting in her butterflied car with the door closed.

I went to her and helped her out of her car. She tried to call her mother on her phone but started shaking and crying instead. I stayed with her, left a message on her mother’s phone of what happened and that she needed a ride (The car was totalled), and waited with her through the paramedic’s inspection and until her mother came to get her.

Sometimes just being there, even if you don’t know the person, can make such a difference. Thank you for being kind.

As for the challenge, wow, here it is day 88 and you’ve used only $53! You’ve got so much food left, that if you were going to just make do with what you have now, you probably could. Though it would make for some odd meals.

What are your plans when the 100 days is done?

Honestly, you are the yummiest thing on the menu (even more so than bacon).

Ive had some people help me a lot in the past, everything from helping me get out of a snow bank to changing a tire. Unfortunately in most cases people won’t even stop if they see an accident right in front of their face. Its not my problem is the motto of our time.

I don’t believe that. I think that most people want to help others, but they simply get too caught up in their own life and issues that they forget to take the time to do it. It’s hard to put aside extra time when you feel you are busy. I know – I have been there.
