Brandon looked at his children with unwavering determination. “Because we’ve got something money can’t buy—each other. As long as we stick together, there’s nothing we can’t face.”

The kids clung to him, tears welling up in their eyes but comforted by their father’s strength.

The next day, as Brandon prepared to leave the mansion for the last time, an unexpected visitor arrived. It was Mr. Grives’s former secretary, holding another envelope.

“This is for you,” she said, handing it over with a warm smile.

Brandon opened it to find a letter and a small check.

“Dear Brandon,
I anticipated that my son might make things difficult for you. While I wanted to give you an opportunity to manage the company, I also wanted to ensure you’d have a fresh start if things went awry. Enclosed is a modest trust I set up for you and your family—it’s not much, but it’s enough to get you back on your feet.

Thank you for your kindness. May your life be filled with blessings, as you have been a blessing to others.

— Mr. Grives.”

The check was for $50,000. Brandon couldn’t believe it. With that money, he found a small, cozy home for his family and started his journey anew. Using his skills and determination, he eventually launched a small business, one built on integrity and fairness.

Years later, as Brandon looked around at his thriving business and his happy, growing children, he reflected on the whirlwind journey that had brought him here. He realized that kindness and resilience had carried him through even the darkest times.

And from that day on, he made it his mission to help others in need—just as he once had for an elderly man in a gas station.
