Two firefighters from New Jersey, Tim Young and Paul Hullings, had breakfast in a coffee shop one morning. They had been on an intense 12-hour shift, and they were exhausted.
The server who served him that day, Liz Woodward, overheard the two firemen discussing their exhausting day and made the decision to surprise them. Tim and Paul were mute when they went to make their payment.
Instead of a bill, the two received a very unexpected message.
“Thank you for saving the people who need help and for running to the places where others are running to get out.”
The two were overjoyed and praised the waitress for her thoughtful gesture. Tim posted the story on his Facebook page:
“Such a noble and distinct gesture. I recommend you go to Liz’s cafe and if she happens to serve you, leave her a big tip. ”
And this is not the end of the story. Steve, Liz’s father, was quadriplegic and had been paralyzed for five years, according to the firefighters.
In the winter, Liz started a dedicated website to fund raise for a handicapped vehicle. Tim solicited contributions for Liz’s account from his Facebook friends.
She raised $70,000 in only a few days, significantly above the $ 17,000 she need.
