Stories of Kindness from Around the World

Coffee And Donuts For A Relocated Employee


--by tnash1112, posted May 5, 2018
About 10 days ago, I was given a $10 gift card for Dunkin Donuts from a co-worker. This was an attempt from that co-worker to make amends for a problem we encountered. It was a thoughtful and well appreciated gift. However, I use the Dunkin Donuts app on my phone for my regular Dunkin's run and already had $30 plus dollars loaded onto my account.  I decided to hold the $10 gift card for such an opportune time.

Fast forward, I didn't know who to give the $10 gift card to - until this morning. We have a new worker who started on Monday who relocated from out of town. On the outside, he appears to have everything together, but I have reason to believe that his funds are extremely low (something I saw this morning). So I have hidden the $10 gift card (along with a Smile Card from KindSpring) in a envelope with his name typed on the front with the word, "Enjoy" and placed where only he will find it.

I know he will be speechless and that brings great joy to me.
