Provision in February

Single mother, three kids, February. The furnace went out on the coldest night of the year. The repair would cost $1,400 I did not have. I got the kids into bed with extra blankets and sat in the kitchen and prayed — not elegantly, just desperately. At 9pm my phone buzzed. A Venmo notification from a number I didn't recognize. The note just said "Heat." The amount was $1,400 exactly. I have never found out who sent it. The number was a temporary Google Voice number, long since disconnected. Someone knew.
