What a wonderful story. You got them on the right track to begin a good life. How nice of you. You should be proud of yourself. They picked right up and made life for themselves.

Thank you for your kind words, and yes, I am proud. Proud of myself and Kathy and Arnold too! We seemed to be meant to meet and affect each other's lives, and so we did.
Have a beautiful weekend,
Jesse
Comment from Gloria ....
How great to read your second foray into the land of prose. And a caregiver arriving just in the time of need is a godsend. By the sounds of things, all worked out well, despite the inevitable influx of change that is truly the one constant in life.
Just one small typo
He waved (waived) the deposit for the extra room in my place
Excellent job, Jesse and a most enjoyable read today. :)

Thank you for your lovely comments and for catching a typo that nobody else caught. Thank you so much for that! You were right about, the inevitable flux of change that occurred, when Kathy and Arnold came into my life, it changed things forever but, in a good way, in the end. I will edit that typo as soon as I am through with this reply.
Thank you for your kind words, and I am happy, that you enjoyed reading this today.
Take care,
Jesse

A very fine story with a wonderful message. All of us have a mission in life - you just have to find it for yourself. You have done a wonderful job with this story! Good job my friend...

Comment from 4theloveoftrees
This is a great story, Jesse! Not only was Kathy able to help you when you needed it, she created, with your help, a new life for herself and her fiance in the process. Before covid hit, I was volunteering at the Rescue Mission near me once a month, cooking and serving meals with a group of volunteers. It was very rewarding. Thanks for sharing this story.

That's great that you used to volunteer, Patricia, I hope you go back, and do it some more in the future. It is rewarding and they surely need it! I am glad you liked my true story. Kathy was great! We both helped each other out of a jam. Thank you for the encouraging comments and the excellent review and rating.
Have a great weekend,
Jesse
Comment from lyenochka
Thank you for sharing such a heartwarming story, Jesse! You helped this couple get back on their feet and passed that really hard time in their lives. So glad that you were the one to hire Kathy and begin such a friendship that will be forever remembered.
PS the Fanstory editor chewed up your é in fiancé so you might want to write this in the Advanced Editor and use the button that looks like an Omega and select the e acute from there.

I noticed the chewed up 'e' in fiance, and I think I have already fixed it. I will check again after I respond to your review. I am glad you were impressed by this heartfelt story. It is all true and I am proud of her and myself for helping her and Arnold.
Have a nice weekend,
Jesse
Comment from Jannypan (Jan)
You did a great job telling Kathy's story. I believe God knows all needs and put her on track to you. You did an admirable job helping her beat homelessness--and Arnold. This clearly shows that perseverance and hard work will bring one good results. Your words are well-chosen, the details are great, and there's good flow to your story. I enjoyed reading it.
May I suggest~
delete the word ending, and just add what you wrote as the paragraph it is--maybe add a sentence that states something like a year later, I met Arnold while I was at the Bay.
Thanks for sharing.
Respectfully, Jan

Jesse,
Wow, much credit goes to Kathy as well as her finance' but you
were a vital part in helping in their transition. I really found this
an impacting write and inspiring as well. Challenges are rife,
but hope and kindness always triumph!
Thanks so much for sharing this story/testimonial.
I found this well written. If there are any nits I'm
sure there are those more qualified to let you know
about them.
You do have finance' turning strange two times...
fianc�©' x two
And a typo in the following line.
"...and we went *out separate ways." (our)
Until next time Sage Jesse,
AnnaLinda

I tried to give you a contest vote for reviewing but I had already given you one for this month. Oh well, it is the thought that counts.
Have a great weekend,
