"An everyday miracle," the radio commentator began, "is a wonderful or amazing event that occurs." That attracted my attention. Although I was anxious to hear more, I had to turn off the car radio as I was next in line to pick up fast food.

Because I stopped at the drive-through (免下车餐馆) every morning on my way to work, I knew the elderly clerk, Mary. So it wasn't a surprise when she stuck her head out of the window while handing me my Diet Coke and began talking. "The traditional holiday is coming. But my family won't have the traditional holiday dinner this year," she said sadly. "We canceled it this year. I can't afford it anymore."

I tried to say something comforting, but my mind was blank. Embarrassed, I said goodbye and began my forty-five-minute drive to work. On the way, I couldn't get Mary's depressed expression out of my mind. Then I thought about the local annual auction that I took part in every year. The activity was yearly held to raise money for the local food bank, a place where poor people could go to get free food.

I hope the food bank could help Mary. But because of the COVID-19, the food bank was struggling this year. I hoped the upcoming auction would raise much money for the food bank. When the day of the auction came, the organizers sent an e-mail to its usual participants, "Guys, take your second-hand things to be auctioned off and come!"

Two days later, I arrives at the auction site, the local park, with my "treasures". Just seeing each other was exciting. The sun came out. Everyone was laughing and talking. But when I looked around, there were only 22 people. "We won't make any money today," I whispered to my longtime friend Sandy. Always optimistic, she quickly reminded me, "Every little bit will help this year."
