Landlord Kicks Girl Out for Sheltering Dogs, Begs Her for Job When Tables Turn — Story of the Day
After losing her only parent and being raised in foster care, Tara struggled to find hope in the world. However, she kept to her kindhearted nature, even after being homeless. She finally got her first apartment, but she was later kicked out by her landlord. A year later, he would be seeking her help.
Before she died, Tara’s mother always taught her that one of life’s most underrated blessings was hope. She would say:
