This woman delivered a pizza and returned with a tip that "saved" her and her son from living out on the streets.
Natasha Boyer found an eviction notice on her door Oct. 4 before heading out to work as a delivery driver for Domino's Pizza. She was unfortunately late on her rent after becoming hospitalized with pneumonia, explains Washington Post. She ended up missing a week of work and that one paycheck made all the difference.
She arrived at the Sycamore Creek Church in Pickerington, Ohio to find a major surprise awaiting her. The congregation and Pastor ushered her onto the stage upon her arrival. Next, they asked her what was the biggest tip she received. She told them $10. Pastor Steve Markle gave her $9, followed by $1,046.
As the mother of one tells TODAY, she began to cry. She hugged Markle and members of his congregation. Markle then said a prayer for her and the church cheered.
Interesting enough, Pastor Markle had just given a sermon about financial miracles and what a miracle this was for Boyer.
"I had no idea what was happening," Boyer told TODAY. "They told me to wait 15 minutes because I was going to have to walk up on stage. I was in total shock."
Markle recalls when asking Domino's to send over his delivery, he only had one requirement when selecting the delivery person. "I called Domino's ahead of time and asked them to pick a delivery driver that wouldn't mind coming up on stage. That's all I knew about her," he said. "It was cool to see my sermon come to life."
And boy did it breath life into the single mother and Domino's Manager.
"They saved my son. I'm forever grateful," she told TODAY.
"Our church has been pushing congregants to do more acts of kindness, but this is the first time we did it together as a collective group," Pastor Steve Markle told TODAY.
The Sycamore Creek Church's act of kindness was enough for 21-year old Moyer, who works as a Domino's manager as well as a deliver person whenever she can, to pay her rent and the late fees.
