The Heartfelt Facebook Post
Encouraged by the coverage, Kat turned to her own Facebook profile to see if she could mobilize the people in her network as well. She wrote about how she felt like the ornament had been sitting at the store for a long time, how she came to have it in her possession, and why she wanted to learn exactly where it had come from. People from the community responded almost instantly, and the story continued to spread.
The Store Manager Weighs In
Although few people had leads for the women to go by, one person who did comment on the post was the store manager of Savers, where it had been bought initially. He mentioned that it wasn’t uncommon to receive donations from the local community, and to his knowledge, he felt like it had come from someone who lived in the area. How on earth did it end up on the shelves, and for just $2 at that?
