Finding transportation to work became a struggle for Vicki Anderson, a McDonald’s employee in Kansas, as her car experienced repeated breakdowns until it was eventually deemed irreparable. Unable to afford a replacement, the 53-year-old was left with no option but to search for a new vehicle.
One day, one of her regular customers, Chris Ellis, came through the McDonald’s drive-thru, and Anderson inquired if he knew of any affordable cars for sale. Ellis promised to assist her in her search. A few days later, to Anderson’s astonishment, Ellis generously gifted her his son Josh’s old 2009 Pontiac G6, free of charge.
Anderson, overwhelmed by this act of kindness from Ellis and his son, responded, ‘God bless you, and you too.’ Ellis replied warmly, ‘You’re welcome. You’re a blessing to me – you make me smile every time I come through here.’
