OF

LUCINDA WAS ON HARD
TIMES.

TIMES. SHE TELLS THE STORY OF HOW SHE
WAS WALKING
WAS WALKING THROUGH HER LOCAL KROGER
LOOKING FOR FOOD.
BUT NOT

AT A GROCERY STORE.
SHE FELT DESPERATE.
AND SHE THOUGHT, THINGS HAVE TO
GET BETTER.

SHE
SHE
SHE ALWAYS HAS A SUNNY DISPOSITION.
SHE IS ALWAYS SWEET
SWEET, KIND AND SPEAKS TO
PEOPLE.
PEOPLE.
PEOPLE. ONE OF THE PEOPLE
SHE SPOKE TO HAPPENED TO BE THE
MANAGER AT KROGER.
THE MANAGER SAID TO HER, IF YOU
NEED A JOB, PLEASE
APPLY.

APPLY. SO
APPLY. SO SHE APPLIED AND GOT THE JOB.
NOT ONLY
NOT ONLY
NOT ONLY DID SHE GET THE JOB BUT SINCE
THEN THE MANAGER
WISHES HE HAD 120 LUCINDAS
BECAUSE SHE IS THAT GREAT
OF AN EMPLOYEE.
WHAT HE DIDN'T KNOW IS THAT SHE
WAS
WAS
WAS LIVING IN HER CAR AND WAS
HOMELESS AND DIDN'T HAVE A
JOB.
JOB.
JOB. AND
JOB. AND SINCE THEN, AND THIS IS
PRETTY COVID-19.
PRETTY COVID-19. SINCE THEN SHE HAS BECOME AN
ESSENTIAL WORKER AND
PEOPLE THAT COME INTO THE CORE
STORE, SAY THAT SHE
MAKES THEIR DAY SO MUCH BETTER.
SO MUCH THAT WHEN
NEWS GOT OUT THAT SHE BOUGHT AN
APARTMENT, PEOPLE
APARTMENT, PEOPLE WANTED TO HELP HER FURNISH THE
APARTMENT SO THAT IS
WHAT THEY DID.
THEY GOT ON FACEBOOK.
A GENTLEMAN
A GENTLEMAN IN PARTICULAR AND SAID, LET'S
HELP FURNISH HER
APARTMENT.
APARTMENT. HE THOUGHT PEOPLE WOULD DONATE
A CHAIR
A CHAIR
A CHAIR OR TWO.

HER AND HELP
FURNISH HER APARTMENT.
SHE SAID I KNOW THE LOVE IS
NOT LOST ON HER.
AND HERE'S WHAT SHE SAID ABOUT
WHERE SHE WORKS AT HER LOCAL
KROGER.
KROGER.
KROGER. SHE SAID "I
CRIED IN THEIR ARMS.
THEY PRAYED WITH ME AND SAT
WITH ME AND UNTIL TODAY, THEY
MAKE ME FEEL LIKE I'M
OKA ." AND LUCINDA, YOU SHOULD
KNOW YOU DO THAT FOR
SO MANY PEOPLE IN THE COMMUNITY

WANT YOU TO BE HAPPY AND MAKE
SURE YOU ARE NEVER

THING

SMILING AND MAKING EVERYBODY
ELSE'S DAY PLEASANT.

THAT
THAT
THAT POSITIVE ATTITUDE AND
DISPOSITION, PERHAPS THE
MANAGER WOULD NOT HAVE REACHED
OUT OR WOULD NOT HAVE
STRUCK UP A CONVERSATION.

THAT IN THE WORST OF TIMES OR
