For anyone having a less than wonderful day, here is a feel good story for you. This morning I called several different Subway's to order lunch for a group of staff and volunteers who run our Holiday Program at work. I connected with a Subway store owner named Jay at the Tecumseh Mall/ Tecumseh Home Depot location by total luck. The order was well over $120 but I only had a budget of $75. This money was raised by youth that participate in fundraising for our agency and advocate for other children. When I tried to figure out a way to bring down the cost of the lunch he asked me who I was feeding. I told him it was for a group of people volunteering their time to package new toys for less fortunate families and would need to order an entire lunch, right down to drinks and cutlery. He put me on hold to organize a couple different menu's that would suit my budget. Moments later he came back on the phone and offered to pay the difference of my original order himself, only charging me $74. I was shocked and kindly accept his generosity. When I arrived to pick up the food he gave me his business card and said he would like to continue supporting us and to please call him again if I ever needed to provide more food to staff or families in the community. He also packed extra subs for me in case anyone wanted second helpings. I was so touched by his generosity. I then made my way over to our Holiday Program to deliver lunch and stopped in my tracks at the amazing sight of kindness our city has shown. The warehouse was LOADED with toys, clothing and household items larger than any department store I've seen. All these gifts were donated by our community and it gave me goosebumps to witness first-hand what wonderful humanity we have in our own city. It's easy to get caught up in the negative especially during the holiday season with the pressures that come with it. Sometimes we all need a little reminder about the good in the world and how we can be a part of it.
