The Wrong Decision

A woman struggles with a financial decision, and too late she discovers it was the wrong decision, costing her life.

In America, a widowed woman stands in the isle of a store/pharmacy debating whether to buy heart medication, groceries, or gas to drive to work the rest of the week. If she buys the medication, she won't have food for her eight year old daughter, but if she doesn't buy the medication, she could die. She had gone without the medication for two days once and she had been fine. She could walk the two miles to work. Walking is good for the heart, she reasoned. At the end of her debating, she decided to go with the food and take her chances. What else could she do?
