1. Single Mom of Four Buys Used Car, Owner Tells Her to Look In Trunk When She Gets Home
I never imagined I’d end up a single mother of four kids, let alone struggling to make ends meet.
When Adam walked out on us, I was pregnant with our fourth child. He thought it was difficult to raise four children with me.
With no support from him, I was left to fend for my children. Bills piled up while diapers and milk became luxuries I could barely afford.

I had to act fast, so I searched tirelessly for work, dragging myself from one employer to another, only to hear the same thing.
“We can’t hire a mom with young kids. Something always comes up.”
Out of options, I expanded my search to a nearby city. I begged my neighbors to watch the kids, then spent my last cash on a cab.
By some miracle, I landed a housekeeping job at a hotel. The manager’s words were a relief I hadn’t felt in months.

“We need staff, especially for summer,” he said. “You’re hired.”
I was super excited until I realized commuting to the hotel would cost more than I could afford. I needed a car, even if it was just a beat-up one. At least I wouldn’t have to pay hefty taxi fares every day.
Soon, I found an old sedan online and called the owner, Jeff.
“Could you sell it for $5000?” I asked. “I know it’s less than you’re asking, but I’m a single mom, and this car would change our lives.”

He was silent for a while before finally speaking up.
“I’ll do it for $5000 if you can bring the money tomorrow.”
