Texas couple buys car for Denny's waitress in Galveston

There was a story about a year ago more or less, where I can't remember the exact details, but this man's co-workers bought him a car to drive to work in, the man or boy always had to walk to work. People might remember that and I think that was basically in the Dallas/Fort Worth area, Metroplex....so, this story has echoes of it.

Texas couple buys car for Denny's waitress in Galveston

GALVESTON, TEXAS —

It's Thanksgiving week, but a Texas waitress received an early Christmas present Tuesday.

Adrianna Edwards, who walks 7 miles to work at a Denny's restaurant in Galveston, was surprised by a couple who bought her a 2011 Nissan Sentra, KTRK reported.

"I still feel like I'm dreaming. Every two hours, I come look out my window and see if there's still a car there," Edwards told the television station.

A lot of walking, one of the articles said that it added up that she was walking five hours a day... my gosh, that's too much.  Story is getting a lot of coverage.

She did a half marathon and change every day, with a work shift in the middle. More than a car, that's a gift of 4+ hours a day.

If, as anti-Covid-vaxxers claim, https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2021/robert-f-kennedy-jr-said-the-covid-19-vaccine-is-the-deadliest-vaccine-ever-made-thats-not-true/ , https://gospelnewsnetwork.org/2021/11/23/covid-shots-are-the-deadliest-vaccines-in-medical-history/ , The Vaccine is deadly, where in the US have Pfizer and Moderna hidden the millions of bodies of those who died of "vaccine injury"?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.

@Gefn
If you walked 14 miles a day, to and from work, I'd try to find a car for you.

She probably walked this in humidity too. She must have had a change of clothes.

The Dallas-Fort Worth story was plausible, the one I mentioned in post # 1.

I assume this one is totally true too.

Not even a bus there?

@TomSea she’s a better person than I am. And I’m really happy for her. No way could I walk that much in that heat without collapsing.

I do have a very good car. A Subaru Impreza. I’m really happy with it.
