Falling on hard times is never easy for anyone. Suffering from financial setbacks doesn't only mean people go without entertainment and leisurely expenditures. Some must go without the basic essentials of life. A single-dad from Minnesota named Marc found himself struggling with tremendous difficulties.

An angel in human form was looking over him and lent a hand to assist him and his kids.

The story begins on a sad note. According to USA Today, Marc's wife received a diagnosis of stage IV ovarian cancer.

She passed away soon after leaving Marc a widower and his two children without a mother. Marc persevered as best he could given the circumstances. He worked tirelessly at his night job as a custodian. Unfortunately, money became so incredibly tight, and Marc began living in his car along with the two young ones.

Marc's spirit wasn't broken though.

He pushed on to make the best life possible for his kids. Financial limitations did hold him back though.

To work through his difficult times, Marc started speaking with a therapist. He brought his kids to the sessions so they could all work out their sadness over his wife's passing and their current difficult times. Maybe Marc spoke a little loudly because people in the waiting room could hear his story.

One of those people was a lady named Holly. Marc's tale so moved her so much that she took action.

Holly discussed Marc's plight in a social media posting. People read the post and were also moved by the story. They shared the post to others in their social media circles. Soon after, people started responding to help Marc and his kids. Holly's home became a de facto post office box for donations. People sent toys, clothes, cash, checks, and more.

The sheer volume of donations turned out to be surprising. Holly posted pictures on her social media page displaying the incredible response. All the wonderful donations made their way to Marc and his kids. To say the family was taken aback by the kindness of strangers would be a massive understatement.
