Thank you, Kàrstin!

Editor:

On Sept. 18, the mailman brought the mail to my gallery just like any other day. But, this time, something very special was delivered to me. It was a card from Kàrstin with $25 cash enclosed. There was no last name or return address.

Kàrstin’s message was as follows:

“Dear Abrash, 

Walking to Stone Oven Saturday morning I noticed that the pot outside your door was broken. Please accept this contribution toward another. I like having you in the neighborhood! 

Kàrstin”

Approximately a week before this card arrived, a group of high school kids had a fight in front of my gallery and broke the large pot I had displayed outside. I found out what happened from a police officer who was kind enough to call and inform me. He was at the scene, but did not know who was exactly responsible.

When I read Karstin’s card my eyes filled with tears and my heart with grace. 

Thank you, my anonymous friend! Your kindness is immensely appreciated. Such class acts make a difference, for individuals and communities, and for the future of Heights!
