Haley Bridges

In accordance with my regular Sunday habit, Haley Bridges is someone we can all look up to and admire, especially on Christmas Day. Why ? Because  she did something above and beyond what was expected.

According to Today, 17-year-old Haley Bridges of Appleton, Wisconsin, gifted a vehicle to her 19-year-old friend and co-worker, Hokule’a Taniguchi, who had been commuting to and from work on a bicycle all fall and winter long.

As many of you probably know, it gets quite cold in Appleton, Wisconsin in the winter. Furthermore riding a bike anywhere on icy streets and sidewalks is not only a challenge, but also miserable.

From BlazeNews:

The background is that Bridges was in attendance at the 2020 Christmas banquet hosted by Chick-Fil-A, where she works. At that party, she received five raffle tickets to win the grand prize — a car. Bridges said that she couldn’t believe her ears when she heard her name announced as winner of the new vehicle. Bridges then promptly gifted the new car to her friend, Hokule’a Taniguchi.

Taniguchi told WLUK-TV that she feels incredibly blessed to be a part of the Chick-fil-A family.

“I really just started crying, because I was so happy, and I was like, ‘Oh my gosh! I can’t believe this is real!'” Taniguchi recalled of the moment she realized she would have a new car. “Now I can go grocery shopping. I can, like, go to work, like, five minutes before now instead of, like, two hours earlier just to get here on time. There’s a million more opportunities and possibilities for me now!”

All of this was made possible by the initial generosity of Chick-Fil-A, but also by the mind-boggling generosity of Haley Bridges.
