Today, a coworker of mine told me about a woman who came into the store to see if she could wipe her computer - my coworker asked why, and the woman replied that she was giving it to a friend who had just lost her house in the fire. Amazed, my coworker started in on clearing things off, and while doing so, the woman tells him she also needs a new computer as well. Again, he asks why - the woman had lost her home as well. The person she was giving her computer to was her neighbor who lived a door down on Gold Hill, and the computer was one of the woman's five remaning worldly possessions.
To give your friend who lost everything a computer is amazing... to give your friend YOUR computer when you just lost your home is utterly phenomenal.

The photo is incredible, completely mind blowing. Your description, that story, is so touching. The things people do for others, even when they've lost it all themselves. Beautiful.
