13. "In 2014, I was in terrible pain and had to have emergency surgery to remove my gallbladder. I was a single mother to two children, both under five years old. I had just returned to my hometown. A close friend of mine was homeless. I purchased him a $80 bus ticket to take him with me and let him stay for a few days. Although he found another place to live, I invited him to my son’s birthday party. He offered to pick up the cake and pizza four days after his surgery. A few days later I went to my grandma to get my food stamps card. I realized that the man never gave it back."I didn't realize he had it, since I was so high on pain medication from surgery. I called him five times and he never answered. So I went online to check my balance and he took everything. I had about $600 in cash, and $750 in food stamps. It was all gone. He stole my money from the girl he was living with. Since I was in hospital for four days and then home for two, I had only used the money for the bus ticket, pizza and cake.This is still the most intentional fucked-up thing anyone ever did to me. It was also a huge fuck to my children. Who steals from a mom who is recovering from life-saving surgery for her child's birthday? He was so grateful that I helped him. "Holy shit!"u/MiryahDawn
