On July 25, a woman posted a message to Craigslist Nashville with the title “Please help, I’m desperate!!!”. Curiously, I read through the post, as she literally begged for a job. She had been out of work, her unemployment was running out, and she still had not found a new job. She had 3 kids and was a single Mom. Unfortunately, this scenario is all too common. Single Mom’s often need very specific work hours because they have to get their kids to school in the morning, then pick them up in the afternoon. Employers see this as a sign of instability and unreliability. But I have a great respect for single parents, because they have one of the hardest jobs in the world already. Anyway, I felt compelled to write this woman, even though I didn’t have a job to offer her. It was so brave of her to put herself out there, begging for work. A lot of people would have too much pride to say “Hey, I’m struggling and I need help.” But she was putting her pride aside because she knew she had her kids to think of, and she really needed some work. Exactly one week later, I got an e-mail from her, thanking everyone who had offered their support and prayers. In that short amount of time, she had scheduled 13 job interviews and received 4 job offers! WOW! She started her new job 5 days later. It is amazing to see how the kindness of strangers and all the positive energy connected can impact one person’s life. I am so happy for this woman, and I know that she and her 3 kids are resting easier tonight.
