He wrote, “Everyone in this community stood up to take care of one of us. My only purpose was to bless Darlene.” “At the same time, now that we’ve done that, I hope people are encouraged. They are encouraged to take a chance and get to know your neighbor.”
In the same post, Lewis revealed he was inspired to help a coworker after two of his friends helped him just a few months before setting up a GoFundMe page when he needed it himself. He explained that he urgently needed to furnish his apartment and a car to transport things, but he lacked funds and did not know what to do.
It was then that two friends who “he had not seen him for almost 11 years” came forward and offered him the help he so badly needed by offering him furniture for free. “She showed me around her house and said ‘If there is anything you see in this house that you need, please take it,” “Lewis wrote.
On the other hand, boss McDaniel and his wife realized that Lewis needed a reliable car to work with, so he took it upon himself to buy him one.
“Without the generosity of these two families, I wouldn’t be where I am today,” he admitted before saying that Quinn’s entire campaign can be attributed to their actions.
