Ashley was so touched by this display of altruism that she immediately burst into tears and gave Keyondra a hug to say thanks. The video was captioned: <blockquote>"Today I had the pleasure of tipping Ashley $800! If you look around business is slower than normal. Ashely said 'tips are getting a lil bit better but she still struggling to make ends meet.' [sic]"</blockquote> <img class="wp-image-12613219 size-full" src="https://img.vt.co/2020/09/50439c51-screenshot-2020-09-24-at-16.30.29.png" alt="" width="771" height="124" />[[imagecaption|| Credit: Instagram]] The caption added: <blockquote>"She was trembling so much when I embraced her. This one actually made me cry. I don’t know if the universe and I are just aligned like that but God keeps sending me on the right place. She definitely needed it and deserved it. [sic]"</blockquote> <img class="wp-image-12613222 size-full" src="https://img.vt.co/2020/09/0acf727a-screenshot-2020-09-24-at-16.30.35.png" alt="An Instagram comment. " width="782" height="186" />[[imagecaption|| Credit: Instagram]] According to a recent report by <a href="http://www.wwltv.com/article/news/some-local-servers-get-a-surprise-by-a-big-tipper/289-e71fcf25-b564-4fa1-9cd3-6c90b4553da4" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">WMWL-TV</a>, Keyondra was inspired to launch her TipaServer campaign due to her own feelings of frustration over how much the hospitality and restaurant industry has suffered as a result of lockdown restrictions. In an interview, Keyondra stated: <blockquote>"I was sitting home looking for a way to help. I remember feeling lost, feeling confused, looking for a purpose. I was affected in a major way, right?God has been covering me, so other people probably didn’t have the same covering or the same help. So I wanted to find a way to help."</blockquote> <img class="wp-image-12613223 size-full" src="https://img.vt.co/2020/09/77a34672-screenshot-2020-09-24-at-16.30.55.png" alt="An Instagram comment." width="777" height="154" />[[imagecaption|| Credit: Instagram]] A number of social media viewers seemed to appreciate Keyondra's kindness almost as much as Ashley did! For instance, <a href="https://www.instagram.com/pauliespan/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">one viewer</a> wrote in the comments that: <blockquote>"The money may not be life changing but the gesture certainly is! We each can be moved to perform a kindness for a stranger today. That is my wish. [sic]" </blockquote> According to Keyondra, this latest tip marks the third TipaServer gratuity this month. So if you're a waiter, bartender, or barista, trying your best to make ends meet, then keep an eye out for her in future: she might give you a very special reward!
