A mom for Christmas

anonymous donations

Lena's: POV
When I got home from work l was still pretty heated from today's events
I can't believe Casey did that. After everything l've done for her,
She didn't even seemed remorseful for her actions. There are no words to describe how I feel right now, l enter the house and find my wife sitting on the couch watching the cooking network. Hey baby how was your day
She asks me, l kick off my shoes and hang up my coat and took a seat on the couch. Babe I don't wanna talk about it Lena replied, what did Casey do now Stef asks me. As I burst into tears suddenly, Stef's never seen me cry like this before. She pulled me in her arms and hugged me until I calm down. Today started out fine Shannon suggested that we hired another child psychologist, so I was looking over budget to see if we had enough funds to take on another employee. As I was looking over the finances there was eighty five thousand dollars missing from the business account so I called Sasha into my office to see if knew anything about it, she told me no
Then I made her go get Casey so we could resolve the matter before we open up a investigation. Casey confess to taking the money, l asked her for it back. Casey said she didn't have it
Sasha went to get Shannon, l informed Casey those funds were for the kids Christmas presents. Casey just looked at me like she didn't understand the seriousness of her actions. Anyway Shannon enter in my office, l filled her in about what had taken place. She put Casey on a six month probation and she's working every weekend including holidays plus Shannon is taking two hundred dollars out Casey's pay check till the money is paid back in full. If it was left up to me that bitch would have been fired right on the spot, after it was all said and done Casey had the nerve to apologize. I let her know l didn't wanna hear apologies cause I don't think she was sincere. The kids will be the ones to suffer the most they were looking forward to Christmas holiday and Casey fucked up. Big time l don't know how much l can take with Casey's careless,
She didn't ask permission before she took the money. Casey knows she was supposed to get mine or Shannon's approval since it was such a large amount, l'm not going to work tomorrow. Shannon knows l won't be in, l need some time to get over this
I don't know if l'll look at Casey the same again. I treated her like a little sister, Lena explains. My God baby that's horrible those poor babies my heart breaks for them Love Stef says to me, that was selfish of Casey
Honey can go answer the phone
I'm going up to take a shower Lena States. Sure baby what do you want for dinner tonight Stef asked me
I don't think I can stomach anything
Maybe something light Lena responds
I head upstairs to our bedroom and took off all my clothes and hopped into the shower, the water just rained down on me. I felt a little better after talking to Stef, my wife into the bathroom. Baby l just got off the phone with some man named guy
Apparently he heard about what happened at the group home. He said he received a anonymous call and he's willing to donate ten thousand dollars for the Christmas presents
And twenty five thousand dollars to Toys R Us toy store. He spoke to the president about new Haven children's home, and he's willing to throw in an extra five thousand dollar. He's coming over here to drop off the checks instead of going to the group home, Stef tells Lena. That's great
I wonder who called Lena said to her wife, it doesn't matter those kids are gonna have the best holiday of their life. Stef Stated, yes they certainly are
Casey isn't off the hook just because someone helping us out of a bind
She still has to pay that back to us
This time l'm gonna start leaving those checks in the back, she wrote out check with our companies name on it. I'm surprised the bank didn't question it, where gonna have to witch Banks so we don't run into this issue again. We keep a book full of blank checks inside, l'm going to bring that binder home and lock it up in the safe. That way l know where it is at all times, nobody will have access to it accept me or Shannon. Lena said
As she shuts off the water, she wraps herself up in a towel. I'll let you get dressed Stef leaves the bathroom
