Meet Hoyt and Harriett.
Hoyt and Harriett are a married couple living tight finances on Social Security. They just remodeled that trailer and when they left town during the hurricane and came back it was absolutely destroyed. They remodeled it like crazy and dumped a bunch of money into it but have no insurance because they couldn’t get covered since the trailer is so old. They didn’t have the money to get it hauled off the property or even know where to begin. Your $10,000 really gave them hope and a chance to rebuild.
