Today I sold the hand gun that I had bought for my now ex-wife's birthday present. After the sale I came home and saw my neighbor sitting on her steps crying, being the big softie that I am I asked if she was alright and if I could help, found out that she's basically broke after paying her rent and has no food for her or her kids. I told her that things would be alright, and I left shortly after she went back inside. I used the money from the sale to get her diapers for her kids (2 and 1) as well as groceries for the week, maybe two, and left what I had left over in one of the shopping bags in case she needed gas as well or if I had missed something she needed. Left the pile of bags gently Infront of her door, rang the door bell, and ran back inside my apartment. She'll probably figure out that it was me eventually if she hasn't already, but I was able to use an item that brought back a lot of pain for me and turned it into a blessing for someone down on their luck. Thanks for letting me share!
TL:DR sold a present meant for my ex wife, bought groceries for my neighbor down on her luck with it
Dog tax, pouting because we didn't share any donuts

Good job, but also, any time I've seen people crying outside their door, they've been a total trainwreck.

I mean they're clearly not a decent person. Decent people don't gift weapons. Decent people don't gloat online. Decent people he is not kid

Good things are coming for me friend, I hope you get the same!

@op I don't give to charities, but I do stuff like this too. Gave $1000 to my friend so he wouldn't get evicted.
MrZev
I don't give to beggers, but when I saw a man take fries out of a trash can at a gas station, I gave him $5.

There is a campaign! Should probably be more specific so people don’t get the wrong idea...

That's just called robbery.

Could you even imagine a ton of people selling their guns to donate money to food banks?
nozerohero
A rifle company made and auctioned off special edition rifles to pay for a boy's surgery/therapy recently.

What made you decide not to go through with shooting your ex wife? Or did you kill her? It's not quite clear from your post.
warpigg88137
Lmao well didn't kill her, truth being told it would have been a waste of a bullet. Far as I know she's alive and well in Georgia somewhere
BrobiwanKenobro
Ew gross. Georgias awful enough please send her somewhere else!
Kirah32
So the devil did go down to Georgia. Also good job being a decent human being
GoldblumNoises
So she's in Georgia eh? Did she play a mean fiddle?
Markamanic
I almost thought she was an ex-wife because she shot herself with it.
JustinSane6
NOBODY is well in Georgia.
Ultratoxic
Being in Georgia is punishment enough for anyone
tommyfearn
Covering your back, nice! Well done for being a top bloke buying the groceries and stuff. We need more of you in this world.

Much appreciated friend, but I'm better now than I was with her. Only moving up now!

Happy for ya! And for being a good samaritan, I wish you good luck going forward! :D

Is your neighbour single? Not saying that could/should be a motivation, but together is better, in my experience
warpigg88137
She's not single and right now I'm not even looking for another partner, after losing the last decade of my life I'm taking time to heal but
warpigg88137
I understand the thought process, and taking no I'll will from it!

Nooooo no no no. Don't help someone like that in such a vulnerable position and then express romantic interest. Will seem like you think 1/
