Beth’s Community Support Story

It's my grandma's 78th birthday. Will I wrap it? Sure. Could you help me with it?

Of course. What time are you off work? I'm going to leave right now. Oh.

No, you're good. You sure? Yeah. How old are you?

I'm old. I'm 77. Why are you working? You don't work cuz you have to, do you?

Yes and no. What do you mean? Because I need a little bit of money to do things. You're 77.

Yeah, that's why. Are you married? No, no, we don't. What happened?

My husband passed away from cancer. Oh, I'm sorry. Yeah. Is your name Beth or Bethany?

Beth. Beth. Oh, what are you doing? You just wrapped your own gift.

Open it up. What are you doing? You're making me going to cry. Why are you going to cry?

Here, what's in there? This has been the sweetest day ever. I think of you being so sweet. Oh, stop.

I have scissors here if you need scissors. I can't take that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm not taking it back.

Oh, I can't do that. Yeah, open it. Take it. Take it.

Take it. This is too much money, please. No, it's not. May I ask you a question?

No. That's crazy. Are you in debt? Just with my house.

Yeah. How much? About 160, maybe. But I don't think I could take this cuz I know a I wish there was an option.

Don't you know someone that's hungry? What would you need to retire, truthfully? really know. What would that mean to you if you were able to pay off everything?

Everything, but then I I I never saw that for me, ever, in my whole life. You didn't? No, never.
