A mom in Waynesville, Ohio was having a rough day. Her name is Brittany Reed, and between doctor’s appointments, sports practices and school, she decided that McDonald’s was the play for dinner. She pulls up the drive-thru, places her order, and reached for her wallet and realized she did not have it. She had a backseat of crying children and could not pay for her meal. She told the cashier she would need to cancel her order and come back. That is when the teenage cashier named Wyatt Jones stepped in and said that will not be necessary and paid for her order. Brittany tried to convince him not to pay for it, but he insisted.
She took to social media and said “I just want his parents to know how KIND & COMPASSIONATE your son was tonight! He made this stressed out momma pause for a moment and realize this is exactly what we parents are trying to do, raise great humans,” Reed continued. “Wyatt, do not let this world change your kind heart young man for its people like YOU that will change this world for the better!”
She also started a GoFundMe campaign for Wyatt to show the extent of her gratitude. The campaign has fundraised more than $30,000!
