The act of generosity of this woman is simply, amazing, from MSNNEWS.com…
Sarah Cummins was supposed to get married this weekend. The twenty-five year-old Purdue student had been planning her own dream wedding for two whole years, and saved up all her money from work to pay for the $30,000 event.
and here, is a photo of the woman, from MSNNEWS.com…
A week ago, she’d called off her wedding, and was left, with a broken heart, and a nonrefundable contract for a venue, and 170 already paid-for dinners.
After she’d cried hard over everything, she’d decided, to bring some purpose to her pain, contacted the Ritz, to rearrange the reception, and, she’d contacted the homeless shelters in Indianapolis and Noblesville, invited the residents to her party.
She’d also arranged for two busses to drive the homeless to her party, and take them back to the shelter afterwards.
And, this woman, despite how her wedding didn’t quite work out, she’d still, made something meaningful out of it. She’d shared her original joy of getting married with strangers who are homeless, and, by inviting people from homeless shelters to her reception, she’d made something meaningful to come out of her not getting married. And this, is how giving back feels: gives you a sense of purpose, she’d made something meaningful from her loss.
