I am an MS1. My husband is having an operation soon. It's not life-threatening, but we're busted financially. As it is, we have to scrimp and pinch, and it was nowhere in the budget to pay for an operation and time off work for recovery.
Anyway, we mentioned this to "Bob", my classmate, because Bob is organizing intramurals, and I was letting him know that my husband and I could no longer participate because we couldn't afford to pay the fee. Bob says, "Don't worry about it, I got you covered, I want to make sure you get to play."
Already we thought that was generous of him. The next day, he hands us a card, with $200 of his own money to help us with the operation expenses, and a note saying that he hopes that this will help me to focus on my studies and that we should make no attempt to repay him.
We're pretty sure he's not rich, just generous. It's incredible, and I didn't know where to shout it out, so I guess I did here.
Does anyone else have a great story about great people?
