Dunkin Employee Evicted from Home Just Received A Huge Surprise from Customer

[Norbert]

When one Ohio family battling homelessness got the surprise of a lifetime from a long-time client, it was like Christmas morning.

Suzanne Burke is a frequent client of Ebony Johnson’s Dunkin’ Donuts drive-thru in Cincinnati, where she works as an employee. It was around three years ago when the two became friends.

Burke had just noticed that one of her favorite employees had been absent from the office for a few weeks. Ebony and her family had been evicted from their house, and she was informed of this.

“When she was going through this difficult time, I simply wanted to see if I could do anything to help,” Burke told WCPO.

For Ebony’s surprise, Burke collaborated with charitable groups and worked with a stage designer to provide her with a completely furnished house that she could call her own just in time for Christmas...

This has made the rounds in our locality for a couple weeks. Last I heard is now that the crisis in Ebony Johnson and family's lives have past Ebony is looking at culinary education which could lead to more lucrative opportunities. I hope she can follow through with this.

Marco Rubio, MTG, among others, believe being a good Christian is cutting and pasting Bible verses and taking selfies of themselves with an open Bible on social media, then quickly going about their hateful business. Suzanne Burke demonstrates good Christianity through good works which probably included investing a good deal of time in doing so.

I certainly hope more stories like this surfaces. We need more Suzanne Burkes in the world if for no other reason than to drown out the overabundance of faux Christians.

1. I love reading stories like this one.

[secondwind]

2. I have something in my eye...

And I love it! What a story!

[PaPP]

3. Why do you think this is about christianity?

I agree with you that hateful christians are a problem, but I didn't see anything in the article to suggest that Burke helped the Johnsons because of religion or even that she's a christian.

5. Whether or not the customer was a Christian is irrelevant

The act itself exemplifies Christian values--regardless of its intent

[PaPP]

7. What the what???

No, it exemplifies nice, caring human values.

[MissMillie]

15. those too (n/t)

.

9. It exemplifies the best of what it means to be a compassionate human being.

Many of us possess these values in spades without it having anything to do with religion whatsoever.

[SharonClark]

14. Well said.

[MissMillie]

16. I never meant to imply that the two were mutually exclusive

Merely implying that that is how the poster felt about it.

[Pacifist Patriot]

18. My comment was for the OP as well.

Sorry. Over abundance of religious relatives getting in my face this time of year. Overly sensitive to this right now. 😊

[PaPP]

20. I didn't think you meant to imply that, but...

I think trying to take credit for a good act as a "christian" thing when there's no evidence christianity is involved at all is not being a good christian.

[MissMillie]

21. I didn't try to take credit for anything

I merely pointed out that the OP seemed to think that the act was a christian-like thing to do. And they are.

I don't care who's Christian and who isn't. But I didn't see any point in any of us getting nit-picky about it.


I'm done.

[PaPP]

23. I didn't say you did

I was referring to the OP.
It's hardly nit-picky to point out that lots of people are good without religion, a point that many religious do not believe.

4. Not all faux Christians are faux.

Why I remember reading about when the Orange Anus took money out of his foundation to pay for his son's Boy Scout membership.

--- supporting the Boy Scouts. Now who could be against that?


And seeing him holding the Bible at that demonstration, why seeing him being so overwhelmed with emotion that he held the Bible upside down --- well I'll tell ya, that brought a tear to my eye.

10. You forgot the Sarcasm thingee n/t

6. She is my kind of people!

Empathetic and generous!

[True Blue American]

8. We are having this same discussion elsewhere

This morning. The hate, anger, revenge and selfishness, down right cruelty is doing more to drive people away from so called Christianity.

I am done of them. I see the many good things Chruches and Charities are doing. Yet I know sitting in Chrch I am among many who seethe, rage, rant about everything they decide they do not like. Follow bigots who pretend to be religious and laugh at the idiots that follow them. It is sickening.

After a great Christmas with family that cares we are back to the same old stuff.

11. This is so on the nose:

Marco Rubio, MTG, among others, believe being a good Christian is cutting and pasting Bible verses and taking selfies of themselves with an open Bible on social media, then quickly going about their hateful business.

[edhopper]

12. While this is heartwarming

the real story is that people with jobs in this country still fight homelessness.
For every Ebony, there are hundreds who don't get any help.

[Fla Dem]

19. Absolutely correct. It's a disgrace, but God forbid the government does anything for them.

[SharonClark]

13. Wire Daily News is a right-wing site.

You might want to get your information from a more reliable source.

17. Yep. THIS is how you spread the message of Christ.

And it’s a lot more challenging and meaningful than just spewing a few Bible quotes. Talk is CHEAP, Marco, Margie-baby, and all your fellow modern day Philistines.

[malaise]

24. Lovely

Season’s Greetings!

25. That's wonderful, of course

But those in need should not have to depend on the kindness of others, go fund me type sites, to avoid disaster.

Only a savage nation would allow this kind of stuff to happen to millions every day.

And, no, I don’t have a solution.
