 Husband leaves wife at eight months pregnant. Five weeks later she finds this in the oven. Amanda turned to the monitor, confused. What were they showing her? Suddenly it clicked as she recognized her own home on the screen, and three strange men were inside. Feeling a mixture of shame and indignation, she watched the camera move over the untidy kitchen. She just knew this had something to do with him. Then, one of the men purposefully walked over to her oven and opened the door. When she saw what was inside, she shrieked. Amanda had never imagined arriving at this low point in her life. She had a beautiful house in a great neighborhood and a husband she loved with her whole heart. And, after years of trying, she was finally pregnant with their first child. All signs pointed to a beautiful year ahead, full of love and everything she'd ever wanted. Then, one day, she woke up and everything was, gone. For three long years, Amanda and her husband had been trying to get pregnant. When they finally got the fantastic news, she was ecstatic. They had been renovating their house for the past two years. With a baby on the way, at last, it was time to move in. Life seemed to be moving forward. Amanda couldn't contain her happiness. In fact, nothing could make her happier even if she went looking for it. Or so she thought. Floating on Cloud 9 with the direction her life was taking, nothing could have prepared Amanda for the bombshell that was dropped on her. Her world shattered and all her dreams and hopes were snatched away. The unfairness of it all graded her to the bone and destroyed her confidence. But, even worse, the man she thought loved her was about to add insult to injury. Totally unexpectedly and completely out of the blue, her husband suddenly in matter of factly informed her that he was leaving. Without any hesitation, he followed through. And just like that, he disappeared out the door and out of her life. Like waking up from a nightmare, Amanda was left all alone, 36 weeks pregnant, and buried in the bills that were quickly piling up. Still numb from shock, suddenly broke, and with a baby on the way any day now, Amanda found herself completely shattered and clueless as to what route to take next. Slowly processing the fact that her husband had callously left her for a younger woman and had also left her with a mountain of debt, she desperately tried to come to grips with her situation. Fortunately, she had her friend Anna for emotional support. Anna was there for Amanda every step of the way. And Anna wasn't going to leave Amanda's side, no matter what. Suddenly, it dawned on her. Although she had an unorthodox idea about how to help her friend, it might just be what she needed to get up and get on with her life. Anna had to do something rather underhanded and devious, but she knew it would be worth it in the end. She had the connections to make her plan work. Suddenly, a bewildered Amanda found herself in a room filled with strangers, numbly broadcasting her pain and feelings of betrayal to the world. Then, Anna told Amanda to turn around, gesturing to the monitor behind her. Amanda turned to the screen behind her, confused. She wasn't sure what Anna was doing or what they were trying to show her, but being in such a strange situation helped to take her mind off things. But she instinctually put a protective hand on her belly when she recognized her own home on the screen. In her heart, she knew this had something to do with her husband. In an instant, she didn't trust anyone anymore. She watched the strangers on the monitor saunter into her home and felt a mixture of embarrassment and distress when she saw how untidy her kitchen was. Then, one of the men walked over to her oven and audaciously opened the door. When she saw what the camera revealed inside, she suddenly knew exactly what was happening, and she couldn't contain her tears. Sitting right in the middle of the oven, neatly bound together, lay a great wad of cash. Amanda almost fell off her chair. But what was going on? And who had hidden the cash inside her oven, and why? Was this some kind of joke? Anna smiled shrewdly when she saw Amanda's reaction. Her plan had worked. It was Anna who came up with the idea to write to the local radio station, KIS 1065, and ask if they would possibly give Amanda a chance to appear on their Give Back segment. Learning about Amanda's story, the radio show had decided to get involved in help. Of course, Amanda had been oblivious. Amanda and Anna were invited to their studio to be guests on the show, but Amanda had no idea about what was about to happen. Upon arriving, the hostess announced that they have a special Give Back segment, which Amanda was unaware of. Her friend Anna was welcomed and introduced as the one who wrote to them and had made this possible. Listeners were briefed on Amanda's situation and the unfortunate difficulty she had with conceiving. Amanda was given the opportunity to tell her story, and as she spoke to the radio hosts, she told them that the worst part was the total uncertainty of it all. Amanda said, it's been about five weeks since it happened, referring to her husband leaving her. And the biggest thing is just the shock, I guess because it wasn't really what we planned, or what I planned. The radio hosts had realized that, on their own, it would be hard to help Amanda. So they had approached local businesses to contribute and make this seemingly disastrous situation a little easier to handle. What followed made this amazing show possible. It turns out that the Middlesex Academy Learning Center generously gifted $10,000 towards Amanda's mortgage. She didn't have to worry about having a roof over her and her baby's head for a good few months to come. But there were still more surprises to come.
