From Hidden Brain Media, I'm Shankarvedantin. This is my unsung hero, stories where one person reached

out to help another in a time of need.

My unsung hero is the kind stranger who helped me get to my grandfather's funeral.

And he just says, today you tomorrow me.

And I never...

Thank you very much for changing my life.

Today's story comes from Bethany Renfry.

I was 20 years old. My baby girls and I were living in low-income apartments.

Most of my neighbors were single mothers like myself. And I remember how

overwhelmed I felt that morning.

It was a cold day in the apartment.

I dragged myself to the sink and it was stacked with dishes

with pots and pans that had been soaking because I burnt them all.

I didn't know how to cook back then and I would always burn our pans.

And I looked at my twin girls, they were 18 months old, they sat in their high chairs, the baby, the newborn was in her swing.

I looked back at the sink and I just couldn't bring myself to do those dishes and I couldn't look at them any longer.

It was a reminder of how overwhelmed I felt in my own life.

So I grabbed a white garbage bag and I stacked the dishes in there one by one.

I walked out in the rain and I placed it on the edge of the apartment dumpster because the dumpster was full.

And I came back in and the girls and I left for the day.

When I got back that evening, it was dark and my porch was dark because I didn't even have the energy to change the porch light.

But as we were coming in I kind of kicked something. It was a box.
