said, “Well, I took a bus here so I could give you this in person. It’s

She handed me a check for $2,000. Reaching into her purse, she
pulled out another one dated a week before. It was for $3,000. “I was
going to try to come last week, but I couldn’t get here. It’s hard to
make it on the bus. I had a little more than I thought, so I decided to
do another one today.”
I asked if I could take her picture and write up a thank-you in the
newsletter. She covered her face and shook her head, saying, “No,
no. I just wanted to help. It’s all I could do. Our House helped me so
much I just wanted to give back and help you all like you helped me.”
With that she was gone, heading back to Pine Bluff on a bus.
