Diane looked at the date.

It was from two years earlier.

Caleb’s Secret Project

Marcus began opening boxes.

Inside were receipts.

Lists.

Names.

Addresses.

Notes.

Diane realized what she was looking at.

Caleb had been helping people.

Quietly.

Without telling anyone.

There were records of rent payments.

Grocery deliveries.

School supplies.

Veterinary bills.

Utility payments.

Emergency assistance.

Some recipients had never even known where the help came from.

Diane sat on a box.

“He never told me.”

Marcus shook his head.

“He didn’t want anyone to know.”

“Why?”

“Because he hated being thanked.”

Diane smiled through her tears.

“That sounds like him.”

Marcus found another folder.

Inside was a handwritten budget.

At the top, Caleb had written:

THE GOOD THINGS FUND

Diane laughed.

“He named it?”

Marcus nodded.

“He said every month he would set aside money for something that made another person’s life slightly easier.”

“How much?”

“Sometimes twenty dollars.”
