A woman battling stage 4 cancer who was given only a year to live was recently given letter from a stranger that has restored her faith in the world.
Kim Whipple is a woman from Queens Creek, Arizona who was given one year to live after being diagnosed with stage four pancreatic cancer in July 2019. She's since managed to beat the odds by surpassing the one year mark, but she is still receiving grueling cancer treatments.
Whipple was recently sitting on her front porch when a woman who she did not know walked up and handed her a letter.
"She's holding it and says, 'I want to give you this,'" she recalled to Fox News.

The letter read as follows:
"I don't know you and you don't know me but when I was out walking my dog I noticed a lady in your garage sitting in a chair who is sick and I then I looked at the truck with the middle finger with the 'c' word.
My brother passed away from the 'c' word who was my hero. So when I see someone who might have it my heart is with your family and that lady I saw sitting in the chair. I will keep your family in my prayers. Hoping that she kicks its butt.
Please use this money on anything. I know it's not a lot but something that might make her day brighter. P.S. I will spray the cash with Lysol."
Included in the letter was $60.
Whipple was incredibly touched by the letter, saying that it gave her a positive boost and motivated her even more to fight cancer. While she was only given a year to live in July of 2019, doctors are now hoping that she may end up in remission.
"One of the best thing that's happened to me in a long time," Whipple said.
Whipple credits much of her survival over the past year to the prayers of her family and friends. After receiving this letter, it meant the world to her to know that there is one more person out there praying for her.
"I truly believe that’s what’s making it work so well for me," she said.
