This past Sunday, Chelsea Timmons was delivering her final Favor order of the day when the weather conditions worsened and she got stuck.

Nina Richardson and Doug Condon's driveway was iced over and at an incline, and though Timmons tapped her breaks, her car wouldn't stop and she still ran into a bush. "I was just grateful that my car did not hit the house." Timmons told KXAN.


Timmons told the couple what happened, and though the trio tried epsom salt, bird seeds, and sand to build traction, the car wouldn't move, and all the tow trucks they called were currently occupied with other emergencies.

So, that's when Condon and Richardson invited Timmons into their home, where she stayed in their guest bedroom for five days, until it was safe enough to drive from west of downtown Austin to her home in Houston.

Timmons said, "They have not only helped me through the base of the storm, but since I haven't been able to make it back home they pretty much won't let me go. Every time I suggested it they've just been like, 'Well, what will you eat? Can you make it there? Isn't the guest room better than a Hampton Inn?'"
