[quote=Anonymous]I think I've posted about this before. My grandpa took an immigrant he met in the 70s under his wing. Got him a job, helped him find a place to live, vouched for him over and over. The man never married, never had kids, and had no siblings. I guess during one conversation, my grandpa had mentioned to him that his (grandpa's) biggest regret was not accumulating enough wealth to leave anything to his grandchildren. The man died of cancer and left me and all 5 of my silings/cousins each $50k. He wrote us the nicest letter saying that he would have given anything to be part of a family like our's and that this money is to fulfill my grandpa's wishes for us and honor him as a kindhearted, selfless person not afraid to put his name on the line to give someone a chance. I used it for my kids' 529s. I only make $90k/yr so it was a significant amount for me.[/quote]
