Howdy folks and greetings from the Great Plains of North Texas!
This is a perfect story for a Sunday. I love it when things like this happen because I've long dreamed of being able to do such things myself.
In Galveston, Texas a couple ate breakfast at a Denny's and learned that their waitress was walking 14 MILES to work everyday, and then back home. It was taking her 4.5 Hours each way!
Obviously she didn't have family or friends who could help her out with rides so she was doing what she had to do to pay the bills.
Well, when the couple, who asked that their names not be used, got finished with breakfast they went straight to a local car dealership and bought a 2011 Nissan Sentra for their server and drove it back to Denny's.
They asked the girl if she could step outside for a second and they handed her the car keys when they showed her the car. Of course, the girl was a little bit overcome with emotion!
Here she is with her "new" car:
The only thing the couple asked of her was that she also pay it forward when she could afford to and you can bet your britches she sure will.
This is a pretty nice looking car too, I mean it ain't no beater!
And here's the wife of the sweet couple who gifted her the car, she was thrilled to be in a position where they could give someone who was working so hard, a hand up:
They didn't say how much they spent of course, from what I could find of 2011 Sentra's in Texas they were all over 5 grand. So I've heard of celebrities leaving $1,000 tips to servers but I've never heard of them leaving a tip of this value.
But then, we like to do things big in Texas.
Would you guys do something like this if you had the money? I sure would.
Thanks for reading folks, God bless you all!
