<div>HEY EVERYONE!!!! 

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Thanks for being here and showing up for Brent. 

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>I'm Dani, I've lived in MN my whole life, I'm mom to 4 beautiful children and own 3 small businesses including Sailor Mercy Wellness. I had the honor of meeting an amazing young man named Brent just yesterday and wanted to share his story.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>After I shared our interaction on my business Facebook page is was apparent that the community wanted to step up and uplift Brent himself to show him, we see him, we see his heart and we applaud his generosity towards a stranger who needed help. 

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>I talked to Brents mom and she shared that he is currently saving for his first car.  Which showed me again how meaningful his 80 dollar donation to that lady at Walmart truly was.  Mom, also shared he was playing volleyball and sadly broke his leg during a competition ending his volleyball career. He graduates this year and then will work full time rather than attend school to save money to help his mom and family buy her own place. He then wants to attend school to become a nurse, which makes complete sense since his heart is nurturing and giving. Originally from the Philippians their family now resides here in the US making our community a much better place.  

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>I'm hoping to raise 2500.00 and Ill be donating the first 250.00 myself.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Lets get Brent a car!!!!

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Thank you Brent for inspiring us all to be better human beings!!!

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Here's the post I shared on my Facebook post...

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>You Guys, Life is crazy.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>At almost 50 years old, you’d think I couldn’t learn much more about this world we live in. I’ve seen a lot of what she’s capable of and that we all take turns at her mercy, yet here I am on a Tuesday night writing you this story.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>I picked up Sailor from school tonight, headed over to Stillwater Walmart to buy a big foam board for Thatcher’s presentation on Friday, so decided to grocery shop. I didn’t prepare a menu and item list like I normally do, so I was just winging it. Last minute dinners included, a veggie lasagna, chicken divan, tofu yellow curry, homemade hamburger hotdish with fake hamburger of course and a few other things. I did my best to fight thru the request of my 12 year old daughters pleads of clothes, make up and pink Starbucks drink.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>We made it to our check out line, when my cart is full I always prefer the human interaction.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Sweet, only 2 people in front of me!!!!! A win in itself at Walmart.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>I started pulling the things out of my cart, instructing Sailor to grab all the heavy things and save the breads for last.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>It was only about a minute or two in when I realized the woman at the check out was having difficulties with her card. Nothing new at Walmart, happens all the time.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>We keep putting our groceries up but now I have one eye on the checkout.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>This old lady. All by herself. 2 bags in her big cart, shoving her plastic card in over and over.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>As I start to pay more attention, I hear her say “I know it has 300.00 dollars on it”

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>I think to myself, “man, my card has a 40,000 limit on it.” Not a brag, cause there is no brag in credit. But a reminder to myself that my kids wont be hungry tonight.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>I could feel that tense build up of “this is taking too long and becoming awkward” feeling.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>I decided to shout out to the cashier “how much is her bill?”

</div>

<div>He says “seventy something

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Oh man, I pull out my card, thinking to myself, if my 70 something mom was at Walmart checking out and her card of limited social security funds wouldn’t work, what would I want to see happen for her?

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>It sure as hell wouldn’t be, embarrassment or snide comments, or eye rolls or people too f*cking busy they cant give a moment of grace to an old lady.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>As I'm contemplating life and all the heaviness that tornados us on a daily.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>I kid you not.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>I watched the cashier at Walmart walk around, pull out his own wallet and say “I got it"

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>I swear, this old lady had no idea what this young man just did for her. 

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>But I knew.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>And I felt like almost anything recently in my life, that this was a direct message to my heart directly from God. Talk about overwhelmed.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>I hesitated to pay for these groceries.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>This young man didn’t.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>The old lady left.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>The next woman in line left.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>When I made it up in front of him. I had to ask. “Did you just pay for that out of your own pocket?”

</div>

<div>“yes” he said

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>I sat there for a moment.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>“Would you mind if I took a picture of you? I'd like to use it on social media. I really think our world could use some good news right now.”

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>“Sure”

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>I tried to explain what he did was so above and beyond and I was extremely impressed.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>I asked “how long have you worked here?” He responded with 2.5 years. “Do you work anywhere else?” I asked. “No, this was my first job ever.” He said. “Are you a student?” I asked, “yes, I go to XXXXXXXXXX high school”

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Can we talk about mind blown.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>I drove home from that experience and thought to myself at the red light, that’s exactly the children I want to raise.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>No talk, ALL ACTION.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Can we all just take a moment to recognize the beauty and heart and compassion in this young man Brent.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Now can you help me, in this bitter angry world make him famous. Lets make the good guys famous.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>“Dear Brent, I'm not sure who raised you. But I want you to know that your actions tonight inspired me more than you will ever know. I actually looked in my wallet to see if I had cash to pay you back for your good deed. Man, you are one of a kind and I hope you sit with your heart and know YOU are changing the world. "

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>“Dear Walmart, take care of this young man who did a hell of a job representing your company tonight. These are the employees who should be recognized and rewarded. I know how hard it is to find good employees. DO NOT LET HIM GO. In fact, I'd love to see you guys give him a grant for college next year”

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>“Everyone else. Tomorrow, remember Brent a high school senior, a cashier at Walmart, remember his selfless act, his moment. He didn’t ask the woman who she voted for or what she believed, it didn't matter to him, HE JUST SHOWED UP.”

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Please share this, Id love to have his mom see. Please tag Walmart, I want them to know how blessed they are to have this incredible human working for them. Also lets tag Stillwater High School.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Anyone want to give this young man a 80 dollar donation?

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>WOW, so incredibly touched.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Brent, are you even real? I feel like you were an angel. Man, you taught me a lesson tonight that will stay with me forever!!!

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>THANK YOU!!!

</div>
