Somewhere 15 years ago, immediately after the divorce, found a job in a gas station, an operator. There was no choice at all. No education, no experience, my daughter is 3 years old. There is not much work in our small town. Asking for help was not convenient. I worked a day in two, from 7 a.m. to 7 a.m. The daughter was brought to the kindergarten at 6, was taken to the cook to the kitchen, in the evening asked one parent from the group and she brought her to me for gasoline, there and spent the night, and in the morning from work back to the garden or home. And this was learned by the educator, Love Anatolievna, a very good woman, aged 55. The kids adored her. She approached me, asked about everything and offered to take my daughter to sleep with me when I had 24 hours. She recently buried her husband and, as she said, she needed someone to take care of. I have agreed. Love Anatolievna told her fairy tales every night, taught her to read, they were sewing and drawing. She even bloomed. And everyone was pleased. So it lasted for six months, and then I changed work, but the daughter continued to visit the teacher, sometimes with a night stay. Of course, I gave her gifts (the money she categorically did not take), bought foods, guests and congratulated with all the holidays. We loved her like our grandmother. Years later, I remember her with great warmth. Unfortunately, she died a few years ago. He was the best teacher.

A million in beer.
It happened in the United States.
The 24-year-old Carson King came to the NCAA student basketball league match with a poster on which it was written: "My Bush Light beer stocks need to be replenished!" On the poster he indicated his account in the payment system Venmo.
The game was broadcast by the largest American TV channel ESPN. Before the match, they began broadcasting the show "College GameDay", during which the hosts periodically made inscriptions from the stadium. One of them was King with his poster. The guy did not know that he was shown on national television, and was very surprised when after half an hour the amount of donations exceeded $400. And after the amount began to grow rapidly, he decided to transfer the money to the local hospital, which is headed by the University of Iowa.
This action was learned in the payment system Venmo and in the beer company, which produces "Busch Light". Both organizations promised that each of them would give the hospital the same amount that King would collect.
A week later he that the total amount collected exceeded a million dollars. From her, he left $15 to buy her a pack of beer.

An alcoholic is also a shopping alcoholic, only highly specialized.
