FedEx Worker With 12 Mile Walk Home Gets Help From Co-workers
There are still some good people left in this world…
Darlene Quinn’s car broke down three months ago and forced her to walk home from work each day…. a 12 mile walk!!! You and I would never walk that far for work!!
Thanks to some very compassionate coworkers at FedEx and some strangers, she not longer has to walk.
They set up a a GoFundMe to buy her a car and within a week, about 100 people had raised enough money for the purchase. And get this, two businesses also reached out wanting to help….one offering free oil changes, and the other is offering tire service as needed!!
Aww… what a great story!
Have you ever done something like this to help out someone you work with?
