A heartfelt video about community support is spreading like wildfire and touching hearts all over the planet. In Seal Beach, California, a community joined in to buy donuts to support a man and his ill wife.
A donut shop owner, John, has been selling donuts since 1990 with his wife, Stella, always by his side. They were married for over 30 years when tragedy struck the hardworking couple.
Stell had a brain aneurysm, and fortunately, she survived. While she was unable to work, her sister stepped in to help John. The regular customers inquired about Stella's whereabouts and were saddened by what had happened.
Stella made an enormous impression on the community with her warmth and kindness toward people. After people had heard about her poor health, they wanted to set up a crowdfunding initiative supporting Stella.
John and Stella did not want any handouts from people. When the community learned about this, they made another plan. One person went on social media and suggested buying donuts from the shop to support the family. Soon, the news spread, and customers came flocking in.
Every morning, every day of the week, John arrives at the shop at 4:30 am to prepare for the day. Soon after, the first supportive customers show up, and by 6:30, the shop is sold out. This allows John to go back home and be with Stella.
The family's background is just as humbling, and their entire story is testimony that the American dream is still alive. Michael Brown commented on the video: 'This story is unheard of in modern days, and is extremely important at this time’.
