In this case, Sarah had been a hard working woman right from the time she was of age. The young lady was widowed with her young daughter, Emily, after her husband died in a terrible car accident, she had no source of income. It was not easy for her to balance her job at the local diner and her responsibilities to her daughter hence some months were empty and the feeling of being unable to pay the bills overwhelmed her.

Relief Mixed with Disbelief
Her questions were answered a month later when another envelope dropped to her, the same old plain envelope with the same money as was in the other. This time, there was a relief which was combined with disbelief on the part of the participants in relation to presented scapegoat. With the money gained the family could purchase not only the necessities but also put something aside for future needs of Emily. It was like somebody had been assigned to look over them so that they made sure that they had everything that they wanted.
A Town Awash in Rumors and Wonder
With time the tong started buzzing with anticipation as the months went by. This news went round, and everyone had something to say about the unknown lady who gave birth to Sarah. Some thought it was a well-endowed elder from the town to put something back to the society and community. Some considered that it could be a non-profit organization which is working in a stealth mode to assist the unfortunate people. But no one could tell you that and the mystification continued.
A Life Transformed
I agree with the transition sorry that there are many questions left unanswered but Sarah’s life started changing for the better. She managed to cut down on her working hours at the diner thus get more time with Emily. They went out for excursions to the park, went to the library, and went for a short holiday at the mountains—something that could not have been possibly done before. Emily, too, thrived. She did not feel her mother stressing again and the house was always filled with laughter and lots of joy.
Gratitude and the Burden of Guilt
But with the newfound stability, a troublesome feeling of guilt appeared in a person’s psyche. Sarah felt blessed, but there for a while, she couldn’t deny that there can be someone out there who would benefit from the money more. Every month she decided to save a part of that sum and give it as charity without revealing her identy to the families and other organisations in need. In this case, it was merely her way of doing something for the others as she had been once done for.
The Search for the Mysterious Benefactor
At the end of the first year of receiving the envelopes, Sarah felt that there must be more she could do. She needed to get her benefactor and meet him only to know what he or she was expecting to gain from such an act of benevolence such that she can also benefit someone out there. Then she posted some flyers in and around town and asked the benefactor to come forward explaining to him that she simply wants to thank him.
A Cold Evening
One week changed into another and no reply was received. Sarah started to wait for him saying that maybe the benefactor doesn’t want to be known and reasons for donation unknown. But then one cold evening while putting Emily to bed the doorbell rang. Sarah took a quick breath and opened it fast, thinking that again there would be no one there and just the all familiar white envelope on the floor.
Instead, she saw a woman of reasonable age, she was old indeed and she was standing on the porch dressed in what could best be described as a heavy coat and holding an impressive cane. She looked like a woman that Sarah knew but she couldn’t exactly put her finger on who the woman was. The woman then smiled at me and said, ‘I am Margaret, you know, the one who has lived here for the past 25 years.’ She had known all the family of Sarah from childhood but they were not very friendly with each other. Sarah welcomed her in, she asked her to have tea and they sat close to the fire.
A Familiar Stranger
Perhaps, these are the hands that have written the Scriptures of the Old Testament, as Margaret’s hands shook a little while she handed the cup to me, and her smiling eyes were full of mercy and knowledge. She said that she had been the one putting the envelopes ordering that Sarah should be removed, ever since she discovered through her friends, that the woman was facing severe hardships. Margaret knew what it felt like being a young widow with a child, she had been there before and the feeling was not a very good one. But she had been lucky—someone out there had been there for her when she was down and out or at least that was how it was supposed to be.
