However, what started out as an ordinary day, turned into a life-changing experience for Rita\u2019s waitress Jazmine Castillo. The IHOP server was waiting on multiple tables, including a party of 15 with a crying baby. Rita was so impressed by Jazmine\u2019s patient and kind customer service that she decided to give her a $20 tip \u2014 even though her bill was only $30. Jazmine was so shocked and thankful for the generous tip that Rita decided to give her another $20. Then, when she learned that the waitress was experiencing financial hardship, Rita asked for her Cash App. That evening she sent Jazmine $500. Next, Rita posted her story on Facebook which inspired her followers to donate $10,000 to Jazmine!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Rita Williams\u2019 Tip Covers IHOP Waitress\u2019 Child Care Expense<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For Jazmine Castillo, it typically takes waiting on seven or eight tables to earn $40 in tips. Jazmine shared with Rita that, on a good day, she makes $100 waiting tables. However, it costs her $40 per day for child care, plus $20 for an Uber there and back. When Rita learned that her initial $40 tip covered Jazmine\u2019s child care expenses for one day, she just felt compelled to do more.<br><br>\u201cShe told me that she [was] ready to quit cause [she] can\u2019t afford to Uber to work and pay for daycare for her daughter,\u201d Rita Williams wrote in her Facebook post. \u201cShe wasn\u2019t planning on coming to work cause she didn\u2019t see the light and just couldn\u2019t afford to but she came.\u201d When Rita invited her friends and family to donate to Jazmine\u2019s Cash App, the response was overwhelming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pancake Waitress Flips Over the Kindness of Strangers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In an interview with <a href=\"https:\/\/people.com\/human-interest\/waitress-receives-10k-in-tips-from-strangers-thanks-to-generous-customer\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">People.com<\/a>, Jazmine recalled, \u201cI was bathing my baby, and I started hearing my phone go off. I don&#8217;t usually get Cash App, so I didn&#8217;t recognize the ring tone, and it just got crazier and crazier and it didn&#8217;t stop from there. It didn&#8217;t stop and it hasn&#8217;t stopped.&#8221; By the time Jazmine put her baby to sleep that night, her Cash App received more than $4,000. By the weekend, she received a total of $10,000!<br><br>The donations have been life changing for Jazmine. She was able to help pay for her mother\u2019s medical care, cover a couple of months\u2019 rent, catch up on some overdue bills, and provide for her baby girl. Jazmine was so humbled and touched by the kindness of strangers, that she, too, wanted to give back. So, she donated some of the money to help others in need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright size-medium\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tisbest.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Ellens-photos-from-blogs-and-posts-13-300x300.png\" alt=\"Rita Williams and Jazmine Castillo receive gifts from Ellen and TisBest Philanthropy on the Ellen DeGeneres Show.\" class=\"wp-image-8745\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tisbest.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Ellens-photos-from-blogs-and-posts-13-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/www.tisbest.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Ellens-photos-from-blogs-and-posts-13-1024x1024.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.tisbest.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Ellens-photos-from-blogs-and-posts-13-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/www.tisbest.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Ellens-photos-from-blogs-and-posts-13-768x768.png 768w, https:\/\/www.tisbest.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Ellens-photos-from-blogs-and-posts-13.png 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Ellen DeGeneres Show Serves Up a Sweet Surprise&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ellentube.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The Ellen DeGeneres Show<\/a> learned about Rita Williams\u2019 and Jazmine Castillo\u2019s story, they invited both ladies to be guests on the show. They shared how their experience has manifested into a wonderful chain reaction of kind acts. Now, at the IHOP where Jazmine works, people are paying for each other\u2019s meals. To keep the momentum going, Rita and her friends have dubbed her kind gesture as the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/hashtag\/RitaRoseChallenge\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">#RitaRoseChallenge<\/a>. They&#8217;re now calling on others to do similar acts of kindness for those in need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To kick off that momentum, The Ellen DeGeneres Show partnered with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tisbest.org\/\">TisBest Philanthropy<\/a> to give Jazmine a giant tip jar filled with $10,000 cash! She then received a $5,000 TisBest Charity Gift Card to support her favorite charities. Then, Rita was handed an Ellen Degeneres Show tote bag filled with $10,000 for her selfless act of kindness. Now, Jazmine will be serving more than just syrupy pancakes. She and her new friend Rita Williams will be sprinkling their kindness to many others \u2014 making the world a little bit sweeter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Create More Warm Fuzzies!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Join us in the movement to #RedefineGifting by replacing gifts of stuff with gifts of good.
