For three years, Suzanne Burke was always greeted at Dunkin' Donuts by her favorite employee Ebony Johnson until one day, she wasn't.
Burke told WCPO, "I go every morning. Ebony has worked the drive-thru for three years and really has provided amazing customer service."
Burke learned that Johnson had recently been evicted from her Mount Healthy home and, since the two had become fast friends, wanted to help her in any way possible.
So with the assistance of a few organizations, Burke was able to secure Johnson a brand-new, fully-furnished home, just in time for the holidays. She told WCPO, "I just wanted to see if I could help her just improve her life and the life for her kids. I wanted to make sure that they had stable housing, so that she could continue to provide the excellent service she does at Dunkin'."
Johnson saw her new home for the first time this past Friday. "Thank y'all so much. Thank you so much for helping me," she said.
Johnson and her family, once on the brink of homelessness, are excited to celebrate the holidays in their brand new home. She says, "I'm just so thankful we're back in our home. The Lord really looked out for me because I kept praying and saying, 'Could I be at home before Christmas?"
