Here's Today's Feel-Good Story:
Karen Collinsworth, 65 from Columbus, Ohio, has been living in Huntington, West Virginia, for decades and for much of that time has worked for Starbucks getting to know the staff and patrons.
After Karen told her coworkers that her catalytic converter was stolen from her car, and items stolen from inside it, her coworkers organized a GoFundMe to help.
“It circulated pretty quickly that way and donations were very nearly immediate,” organizer and coworker Cassie Gray says. “It was just amazing to see, honestly.”
“I was taken aback when I found out. It was very overwhelming. I knew these kids loved me because I love them,” Collinsworth says. “But for them to be 19-year-old college students … They have so much going on in their life, but then to take care of their Starbucks mom, Karen. That’s just how big their hearts are.”
