“I know those kids love me and that’s what makes my life worthwhile,” says Karen Collinsworth, who considers herself a “Starbucks mom” to her 19-year-old co-workers.
A Starbucks supervisor is getting ready to buy a new set of wheels, thanks to the loving concern of her coworkers — and an entire college campus.
“I love coming into work knowing that she’s gonna be there. I talk to her about literally everything,” Cassie Gray, a sophomore at Marshall who works at Starbucks with Collinsworth, tells TODAY.com. “She’s like my mom when I’m away from home and can’t talk to my mom. So it’s just like a relief, being able to go in there and talk to her and knowing that she’s going to help me work through whatever.
Both co-workers say, though, that in the past six months, Collinsworth’s car trouble has ramped up big time. And so, the GoFundMe “We Love You Karen” was started to “help her buy a working car and ensure she wouldn’t have to worry about monthly bills,” according to the page authored by “Anonymous Baristas.” To date, the fundraiser has raised over $40,000 for Collinsworth.
Gray, Horn and the others had intended to surprise Collinsworth with the fundraiser once it was done, but it spread so quickly that a neighbor broke the news to her instead.
