Today I met a 89-year-old woman named Nona.
I asked her if a diamond ring belonged to her.
Even though she could have easily said yes, she chose to tell the truth and said it wasn't hers.
To reward her honesty, I gave her $1,000.
She immediately began to tear up as she shared her story.
Nona recently lost her husband after they were unable to afford to repair the air conditioning in their home during extreme heat paired with his health conditions. Since then, she's been forced to move out of the house they shared, and she's still struggling to afford basic necessities, including keeping a cool place to live. Nona is currently living in hotel rooms.
And yet, even after everything she's been through and with $60 to her name, she still chose honesty.
A woman like Nona shouldn't have to face this season of life alone. Let's rally around her and help provide the comfort, stability, and peace she deserves.
Do your thing, internet ❤️
