Watchful mailman
Unexpected Delivery
by Patty Mazzurco
Rachel had been scraping by, her rent overdue and no relief in sight. Then, a box appeared on her doorstep. Inside, she found stacks of cash, along with a note: “Don’t give up.” No name, no clue—just a lifeline. She didn’t know who sent it, but that surprise was the miracle she needed. The money gave her time, and the mystery gave her hope, reminding her that sometimes, help comes from the most unexpected places.
The mailman really delivered.
