Ten thousand dollars

It reminds me how ten thousand dollars can be used. It can help a poor girl go through two months at least before she finds a job.

I met a girl one day, who is the daughter of one of my clients. She just graduated from university. Her mother is unable to take care of her because of depression disease. Her father is a labor who also has a serious disease now. She was raised by the Social Welfare Units. Since she becomes an adult, she can not rely on the Social Welfare Units. She needs to make money to support herself.

She contacted me. Because she was cheated and offered bank account password to the Fraud Group. She will become a fraudster and be accused by the prosecution office soon. Therefore, she is full of anxiety. She hopes I can give her some help. I don’t know why Taiwan becomes a scam paradise.

I tried to understand her situation. She told me she rented a room in Tamsui district. It costed NT3,000 dollars for a month. She was looking for a job. I asked, how do you live your life since you don’t have a job? She told me she did some odd jobs and owed thousands of dollars in phone bills. I lent her five thousand dollars to get through this time. At that night, she lined to me that her room had no electricity perhaps because of typhoon. I just kept silent. In these holy days, there is nothing more important than the Great Removal. No one cares about a little potato. What else I can say or do? I can’t sleep well at that night. Should I blame her disturbing my quality of sleeping?

Luckily, a flash of inspiration came to mind the next day. I think about a client who needs a temporary worker. I introduce the girl to him.
