TELL ME SOMETHING GOOD: Couple Raises Huge Tip For Single Mom With 3 Jobs
A couple in Idaho is spreading holiday cheer to their server with an enormous tip.
Michael and Kelly Wolsten were eating out at a new restaurant, Pho Le 1, in Coeur d’Alene, when their server shared that she’s a single mom who works three jobs to support her family. They were impressed with her initiative and inspired by the holiday spirit, so they decided to crowdsource a big tip for her.
Michael reached out to his Facebook friends, asking if they’d consider donating to the cause. “We wanted to bless her big time,” he explains. And that’s exactly what they did. Dozens of donations poured in and by the end of the evening, they’d raised over $2-thousand for the server.
“Over 100 people heard your story and they have donated to that tip tonight,” Kelly tells her as she hands over the money. “And your tip is $24-hundred.” Their generosity overwhelmed the server and she was brought to tears, while insisting she’s not a “crier” as the two women shared a hug.
