$100 gift card guy

Dear $100 gift card guy,

You know who you are. You are the guy who gave $100.00 to the downtown Dutch Bro.'s coffee stand and asked that they use it to pay for everyone who drove through this morning. Until it ran dry. Courtesy of the Drive Through Difference. 

I want you to know that your generosity touched my sweet co-worker this morning. Brought her and her mother to tears after receiving the news that their coffee would be "on you". See, what you didn't know was that they had a particularly rough morning. 

My co-worker's (Rose) mom is in horrible health. She is wheel chair bound and is need of daily trips to the local hospital to get her many bandages changed. Upon arriving at the hospital this morning and unloading the wheel chair from the back of her car, Rose slipped on a large patch of ice. Badly bruised the left side of her body and quite potentially did some damage to her wrist. To make matters worse the nurse that for the last year loyally changed her mother's bandages quit without one good bye leaving a new, much scarier nurse assigned to the task. All this ON TOP OF THE FACT that their family dog - the one that protects the home and won't leave her mother's side - escaped while trying to load the car. This very minute the dog is still missing. 

So thank you. From the bottom of my heart and most certainly from Rose's too. You many not have realized the incredible impact throwing $100.00 on a Dutch Bro's gift card could have but I assure you - watching Rose tell me the story with fresh tears still in her eyes, so very thankful, profoundly hopeful that her bad day would end up all right....

Thank you. It is all I can say.
