Ayear ago Agust , Dve Fuss lost his job driving a truck for a small company in westMichigan . His wife , Gerrie , was still working in the local school cafeteria , but work for Dve was scarce , and the price of everying was rising . The Fusses were at risk of joining the millions of
(A)ericans who have lost their homes in recent years . Then Dve and Gerrie received a timely gift——＄7，000，a legacy (遗产) form their neighbors Ish and
(A)lene Hatch , who died in an accident . ―It really made a difference when we were going under financially .‖says Dve .
(B)t the Fusses weren‘t the only folks in Ato and the neighboring town of Lowell to receive unexpected legacy from the Hatches. Dxens of other families were touched by the Hstches

generosity . In some cases , it was a few thiousand dollars ; in other ,it was more than ＄100,000. It surprised nearly everyone that the Hatches had so much money , more than ＄3

million—they were am elderly couple who lived in an old house on what was left of the family farm .

Cildren of the Great Dpression ,Ish and Alene were known for their haibit of saving , They thnved own (喜欢) comparison shopping and would routinely go from store to store , checking prices before making a new purchase .

Through the years , the Hatches paid for local children to attend summer camp when their parents couldn‘t afford it . ―Ist and
(A)lene never asked you needed anything ,‖ says their friend Sand Van Weehten , ―They could see thira bey could do go make you happier ,and they would do them .

Een more extaordinary was that the Hatches had their farmland distributed . It was the Hatches‘ wish that their legacy——a legacy of kindness as much as one of dollars and cent ——should enrivh the whole community (社区) and Ish and Alene Hatch‘s story .

Neighbors helping neighbors ——that was Ish and
(A)lene Hatch‘s story .
