When my grandmother was young, she bought a small house with her savings.

She worked in a factory for thirty years, and every month she put some money away.

My father grew up in that house, but he could not buy his own home until he was forty.

By then, house prices had risen much faster than wages.

Today, I rent a flat in the same city.

Even though I have a good job, saving enough for a deposit feels impossible.

Last week, my grandmother told me something surprising.

She said she would help me buy a small flat near her old house.

I was shocked because she never talks about money.

She explained that she had saved a little extra for her grandchildren.

Her offer made me realize how lucky I am.

Many of my friends have no family support at all.

They work long hours and still worry about rent.

I know my grandmother's help is a gift, not a right.

I plan to pay her back slowly, and I will never forget her kindness.
