Some might say this is in the wrong area, but, i feel it isn't because the person is associated with a restaurant.....
About a week ago I started a thread asking if anyone had any information on a good cheap refrigerator. I had been looking on Craigslist for a while already, and nothing was coming to fruition. I would call and get the "it was just sold", "you just missed it", etc. We even rented a uhaul to go pick up a refrigerator, we were told it was brand new. It was new, but it had been dropped or something, and was SEVERELY damaged. We left greatly disillusioned, lied to, and scammed.
It was the last straw, and i posted here as a last resort. I was hoping someone would point me in the right direction and something would come of it. A lot of people did send me links, and helped me with information. But one person sent me a PM and offered us a refrigerator. I was speechless. I talked it over with my husband, at great length. We just didn't know, i didn't want to cross any lines on this forum, and well it was just so unexpected.
We had to throw away all of the food that we had, it had all gone bad or was questionable. With children, we just could not take the risk. The next day i accepted the refrigerator.
Everything went smoothly after that. We all drove out to pick up the fridge this Saturday. The owner was not there, but had left it outside for us. It is a nice fridge, not just anyone gives away a refrigerator, to a stranger. She had said to me, "it is not the prettiest thing". Let me repeat, it is a nice fridge. My husband went and bought a filter for the icemaker, and a little kit, and everything is working fine. I bought milk today and put it in the new fridge. My 2 yr. old's exact words, "Yay MILK!!!"
I thought about this a lot, and i want you all to know that Paula B gave my family this refrigerator. Things are so ugly in the world sometimes. We are surrounded by such negativeness around us that sometimes we are blinded that there is still goodness out there. Not all is lost........
I am beginning to get teary....(yes, i am a very emotional person)...so i am going to close this.....but....I just wanted you all to know what a nice, selfless, humble person Paula is....and how she extended herself to help someone out........
