After losing her husband to COVID and her home to a tornado, Diane Salinger, in her fifties, decided to invest the money she had left into a small business in a Michigan town. She bought a grocery store selling exotic goods and was welcomed by the friendly community, though her landlord, Chris, was rude and self-centered.
One December, Diane was $120 short on rent. She promised to pay in two weeks, but Chris, refusing to listen, demanded she leave by the end of the week. Angry, he accused her of taking advantage of him.
Forced to leave, Diane found herself on the streets. Meanwhile, Chris visited his sister, Vanessa, a single mother. To his shock, Diane was there, helping Vanessa’s family. Diane explained that Vanessa, too proud to ask for help, was struggling. Ashamed, Chris realized his mistake and offered Diane to return to the apartment at half rent, vowing to support her charitable efforts. Diane gladly accepted, hoping Chris had learned his lesson.
