Though she appreciated more than anything that human connection. Even in areas where service is given freely often, when a disaster strikes you personally, those one on one meetings really help.
If you have time, get out to see her once a week just to chat, or help her with anything she needs. It will remind her she is still wanted.
You got her the best thing; human kindness, compassion, decency. I know the gift card will be helpful, but your visit did her worlds of good, I know. It was a very good thing to do and possibly gave you as much of a lift as it gave her. I hope so.
Do you know if she owned the house and had insurance? I was concerned that she might have been renting and not had renters insurance (in which case the actual homeowner was probably covered on their loss, but she might not have been covered on hers.) Maybe her hotel room is being covered.
If she rebuilds, there will be a lot of decisions to make. It's nice for her to have someone like you who is just sort of watching out for her. God bless.
Just listening to her vent was a huge thing for her. I suggest you might help her find a local social service place that could give her counseling and help getting her life back together. Search online with your town name and Social Services. Also check local government web pages, they sometimes have referrals. Sad to see her family has not shown up for her.
You did a ton. Believe me. Theres nothing worse than being alone and invisible. It's like waiting for someone forever who never arrives. Some days I ponder whether i should use my invisibility for good or evil.
What you are doing for your former neighbor is not for her It is for your everlasting soul and the satisfaction of doing what your heart tells you is the right thing. Go with God and be blessed fren.
Thank you for caring. That is one thing about this community. You all seem to be the most kind and caring people, it makes me feel good to be here with you all.
You gave her a hell of a lot more than you think. Faith in her fellow man, a listening ear, conversation and community.
THIS 👍
I actually enjoyed the conversation. I was kinda scared it would be really awkward but it wasn't.
I wish more people your age would step out in faith and initiate face-to-face human contact, not behind a screen. You were both rewarded
A lot of people my age have social anxiety. Gen Z is terrified of people for some reason.
Lack of practice, that's all.
Yeah I'll admit I didn't really know what to expect. She seemed really thrown off and a bit embarrassed too at first.

I'm tearing up a bit as I read this....I am older and if I imagine myself in this woman's place, I would be so grateful and blessed!
You did a really good thing!! I hope you know how special you are for caring about someone like you did.
Well done!** Blessings!**
"Love your Neighbor" in action.
May God bless your efforts.
❤️❤️❤️
You have a kind heart.
Good on you, man. Good vibes go a long way.
Best place to start giving is to start locally

Most churches have money set aside to help someone such as your neighbor and you don't have to be a member to ask them to help her out.
Thank you for doing that and giving us an update!!!
Bless you for your kind heart! ❤️
Well done fren.
You make me proud... and I promise that what you did is something which she'll never forget... nor will you
Great job, CR!👏👍🥰

Gift of time is the most valuable. What she said about you is very true.
