Sometimes the parents who leave us are doing us a favor.
Halle Burke thanked her mom for leaving her at a fire station — it was only
through the act that she was able to be adopted into a loving home.
However, Rainwater did note fare as well. Without the help
of her parents, Rainwater’s life hasn’t been the easiest. “There were many
years where there was no food in the house,” Rainwater says. “I didn’t have
electricity for months.”
Foster care and constant struggle has made it difficult for
her to accept help and trust others. “If someone tries to help me out, there is
usually a catch to it,” she said.
In 2008, her father passed away and left her $86,000. She
had no idea it was there waiting for her, until now…
Watch as Inside Edition surprises her with the giant
check. “I could never have imagined in a
million years that all this money would be sitting for me!” She exclaimed when
she finally found out.
Thanks to the We Find, You Keep campaign, which provides
unclaimed money to its rightful owners, Rainwater is able to start her life
over the right way.
“It doesn’t matter where you come from or where you started,
sometimes the ending is beautiful,” she said.
