I received an email from a stranger today informing me that her 2 yr old nephew had just passed away. So I thought this must be one of the mass forwarded emails asking for donation and stuff like that.
Then I noticed that the email was specifically addressed to me alone, and from the email, apparently I had contributed some money to her sick nephew who was undergoing a heart operation back in 2009 after she chain and mass emailed a lot of people to ask for contribution for her nephew to undergo an operation. Apparently, the operation did not take place since they could not raise enough money for the ops and medical treatment, and the health condition of her nephew was not fit for him to be operated. The condition deteriorated, he passed away 2 weeks ago.
My heart broke instantly. I have basically forgotten about this money I donated to him. Can't even remember how much I contributed. Completely forgot about this boy I donated to. But I am pretty sure I donated the money with the hope that he could do the operation and be well again. But I reckon god is better at doing his job, he wants it this way instead of the other. There could be a blessing in disguise behind all these.
I am glad I contributed the money - I know it was not much, but I am sure it was useful in some way or the other. I don't make much compared to those other people, and I don't earn top dollars either, but I hope I can do this more often.
Signing off - nmn
