Random acts of kindness serve as a reminder that there are still people who sincerely care about others.
Meet Darlene
Darlene Quinn is a 60-year-old FedEx worker who was shown great kindness by her coworkers.
Her Story
Sadly, her car had broken down three months ago, and because of financial constraints, she wasn’t able to afford to repair it.
So She Walks
Because of her dedication to work, she decided to just walk 12 miles every day from work to her home, while a friend drives her to work every morning.
They Wanted To Help
Her coworker, Josh Lewis, and her boss offered to give her a ride home one day, and that’s when they understood her situation better.
Raising Funds
After that, Josh set up a GoFundMe account for Darlene to which a hundred people donated. Eventually, he was able to raise enough funds to buy a new car for his resilient coworker.
Big Surprise
After he had purchased a car for her, he invited Darlene to his office the following day to surprise her with the good news.
Her Reaction
Darlene was overwhelmed with joy when she learned about what Josh did. She couldn’t believe that a lot of people would help her.
A New Ride
Josh honored Darlene and her inspiring spirit. He told her, “You have inspired so many of us to do great things, about going to work and supporting ourselves, and do what we have to do.”
She’s Loved
In addition to her new car, two anonymous local businesses offered her free oil changes and tire services to make it easier for her to maintain her new ride.
