TERRACE — Last year a
truly beautiful story took
place. It was around
Christmas time, and the
Morales family was pinch-
ing their pennies in order

to get along. ee

by Philip Musselman

The Morales family is
from Chile, from which
they escaped to avoid a
futureless life amongst
economic and social dif-
ficulties. The country of
Chile is ruled under a dic-

future for the country’s
youth, and there is no
hope for the old, he added,

Last year Tirso Morales
and his family were just
breaking even, when his
wife received news that
her father was very sick
and it was only a matter of

time before he died. Sylvia ~

way that the. Morales
family could ‘afford to
send her to Chile to see her
father for one last time.
Things almost looked
hopeless when a phone
call changed all of that.
Friends of the family,
close and not so close, had
gotten together and had
purchased a round trip
ticket to Vina Del Mar,
Chile for her, These
friends had also raised
some money to help her
get: along in the South
American country for
awhile. = 7 :
Soon Sylvia was broke
because of hospital. fees
and other costs, so~she
phoned home looking. for
some money. The family
had no money to send her,

but one day when her hus- .

band Tirso was inthe
bank, trying to figure out
how much he could send
her from his pay cheque, a
friend approached him.
The person was thankful
for having a job and a

good home, and wished to
help. Tirso received $100
from this person and was
very taken back,

This money didn’t last
too long either, by then
Sylvia’s .father had died

and she again needed

money to help pay for
funeral and hospital costs.
Suddenly another friend

of the family visited their

home to drop off another
$100. Again Tirso was sur-
prised and felt very good

‘about the generosity of

these people, his employer
had even loaned him $100
for his wife.

“T will never forget the
help that these people gave

.. us,” Tirso explained, ‘‘we

do not even know who to
thank for this goodwill.’’

_Now the Morales family
is doing well, Tirso is
working at

instructor, and Sylvia. is
working also. A ‘happy
ending for a family who
came to Camada in 1980.
