Late night trip to Wally World.

10:00 p.m. Late night run to Walmart but not for a midnight snack or groceries for my household.  We got jobs!  Ok not me and not my husband but one of our families.  Walmart hired the parents of the family we were helping this past week.  I am so proud they took initiative to do their resumes and be persistance in applying and following through on their end.  I met them at Destin Walmart to pick out clothing they needed for their uniforms.  They got to start tonight at 10pm to stock.  They are both so thankful for the opportunity. Thanks to Jeff and Gay Landreth, we got them both 2 shirts and 2 pairs of jeans with a little extra for gas to get home with no worries. When they got the call earlier today that they got the job they were thrilled until they were told the job attire that was mandatory.  They freaked out but knew if they called us BeGenerous, Dianne,Opportunity Inc or Steph B (WCS) we would find GENEROUS hearts to come up with what they needed.  I pray they get settled into their new job and that it gives them relief and a sense of pride knowing they will see the light at the end of tunnel.
I can sleep well tonight knowing they are working and making money.
Bless the Grahm family and God bless you all!
Steph

  1. I have applications for Polo Ralph Lauren at the outlet mall. They are hiring for summer. My son has worked there for two years and they have been good to him. He gets a little bonus if he refers new employees to work. I know you all meet up with folks every day who need jobs. I realize they are at the Destin Outlet Mall and they do require their employees to dress in all polo attire but maybe we can pull some things from someone's closet to get a person started. Let me know if you need an application.
