A Free Press article details how the life of Melissa Cristodero has turned around due to the generosity of strangers.
A front page story described the financial plight of the single mother who didn't have the money to pay rent and utility expenses.
Readers responded to her situation by sending presents for her children and money for her to pay her bills. Dentists offered their services and she also received offers for job interviews.
"I have enough," she said, stunned by the generosity. "I want to say thank you, maybe by helping other people out like that one movie, 'Pay It Forward.'
"If somebody helps me, I can help somebody, and they can help somebody, and it just keeps going."

May Melissa be an inspiration to us all - to know when to say, "I have enough - Now is the time to give back and help others."
