    I designed a site for my dad a few years back when his company that he worked at for 35+ years shut down and let him go.

    I think I was more devastated than he was. I seriously didn't know what he was going to do or how he was going to find work.

    Anywho, he had me design a site for him so he could continue doing his thing for his customers because there was a need.

    I designed a comp and sent it over. He loved it.

    A week later when I went back home to visit he had printed out my comp and had it hanging on the fridge right next to my nephews chicken scratch colorings. I laughed so damn hard. Like I was a kid again and he was proud to hang up my work.

    That's probably the most rewarding bit of personal work I've ever done. He never made more than what, median class income and in less than 3 years was well into six figures per year.
