  • Blown away

    So for the last couple months I have been helping out in the Accounts Receivable department at my company instead of the call center. (Mostly data entry type stuff, but I enjoy it a lot more than being on the phones.) Last Thursday my kid sister's youngest child stopped breathing while she was her older daughter's cheer practice. One of the other parents started CPR and an ambulance was called, but by the time my niece's heart got going it again too much time had elapsed. My niece was pronounced brain dead on Saturday night, taken off life support Sunday, and passed on Monday. One of the people down in AR found out about a go fund me page one of my sister's friends had set up to help my sister/her husband and kids out. While I was busy trying to keep my mind off the unfairness of life, they must have snuck around and took up a collection because when I was talking to my mom after work tonight she told me that (work) had donated $150 to my sis. I am completely floored by the love and support I have received from my new coworkers.

    I am so sorry about the loss of your niece.

    It is nice to know that there are still good workplaces out there that actually care for their staff.
