I was 24 years old, I was three months pregnant and I had just lost my husband!


A young woman was facing the biggest problem she would have in her entire life: her husband had died, she was 3 months pregnant and she had lost her job. But something incredible happened when he had no hope. Was it divine intervention, miracle, or coincidence?
A young woman was facing the biggest problem she would have in her entire life: her husband had died, she was 3 months pregnant and she had lost her job. But something incredible happened when he had no hope. Was it divine intervention, miracle, or coincidence?
We had just bought a two-room apartment. I had arranged the baby’s room, bought a crib. Now I had to give up our house, the house where all our dreams were. I couldn’t afford to pay the rent.

I was going to move in with my parents in my old room. I was afraid of what was to come.

All the furniture I had bought for our apartment was going to stay with friends for a while and then go to a warehouse that I was going to pay for. I was sure I wouldn’t be able to raise money for the deposit and would have to sell it.

Everyone told me not to mourn, that it would affect my child or I risked a miscarriage. I tried to stay calm, but it wasn’t easy at all. I am an introvert and I did not share my problems with anyone. My sister wasn’t doing too well either. My parents could barely make ends meet.

But in January I received an envelope with money in my mailbox. I didn’t know who it was from, but they helped me a lot. I paid the warehouse where I kept the furniture for a year. I was saved!

I was so happy that day. I smiled all day, something I hadn’t done in a long time.

A week later, I woke up with my husband’s boss at the door. I didn’t know what he wanted. He was present at the funeral and offered his condolences. I could not receive money from my husband’s company, because my husband was newly hired and I was not entitled to any compensation.

This man sat on the couch in my parents’ living room and took three white envelopes from the inside pocket of his suit.

In an envelope was her husband’s last salary. In another was a bonus my husband had received a month before he died. There was a lot, a lot of money in the last envelope. The man explained to me, the company wanted to take care of us, even if the employee was new.

I didn’t know how to thank him. Years later and I’m still grateful to him.

After I gave birth, I found out that my baby had health problems. He needed 13 surgeries and I stayed with him at home until the age of 3, when I was able to give him a daycare and find some work. After raising some money, we were able to move into our own apartment,

I will never forget the two angels in January who changed my life. ”
