Perfect Stranger

Last year was hard. My husband and I lost our business and also had to pay more than $20,000 in health-insurance costs. To cut down on food expenses we stock our big freezer with meat we buy in bulk. So when I went out to the garage one day last summer and found the freezer door open -- and thousands of dollars' worth of ruined food -- it was devastating. A few days later three readers of my blog, momofali.com, showed up at my house with food to restock my freezer. What made this gesture even more amazing? They live more than 400 miles away!
