- When Cynthia Morrison waits on you at the Georgia Waffle House, where she’s worked for the past 37 years, she wants to hear all about your life. It’s a service the patrons have come to expect. So when Cynthia missed a busy Saturday at work, Joey Godfrey wondered where she was. She informed him that she had a bad reaction to a cancer drug she’s taking. Joey rallied the community to help her out. Inside Edition Digital’s Mara Montalbano has more.
In a world where there’s so much hate and divisiveness it’s nice to see a story with kindness and compassion.
I’m pretty sure I’ve seen these exact words 1000 times

@@Afiriss pretty sure it's just a bunch of youtube bots but hey good message nonetheless
Properly fake is America
It's pretty disgusting having to PAY FOR HEALTH. Only in america.
This is a beautiful story. It shows that a little kindness does get noticed and it can eventually come back to you. I hope she gets the help she needs
This only illuminates the abhorrent nature of our current healthcare system that focuses on profits over patients. It’s driving us to an unsustainable macroeconomic disaster. According to the OECD and WHO, America ranks 18th and dead last by comparison of the top 11 wealthiest nation in the world. And we spend twice as much! Pew research shows 70% of Americans what Medicare for All. Including 70% of republicans. Educated yourselves America.
She deserves healthcare and more money than 3 dollars an hour…
My mother's husband has been living with bone cancer since 2007, he refuses chemo and radiation...he's doing just fine with pain meds 💊
@Mikey Alva I'm sorry for your loss man nothing is worse than losing the very people that brought you into this world😟😔
@Mikey Alva conhita is a lovely name for a lovely lady🤗
As someone that’s an American and also going through cancer; it frustrates me so bad that in America you have to choose between financially ruining your life or dying when it comes to medical care. That includes people with insurance as well. I wish her a speedy recovery and she’s around continuing to make people smile for a very long time.
@Nova probably, but if it’s for treatments and not just a couple surgeries, you’d have to move. and i know if you move out of the US for a certain amount of years you lose your citizenship. so there’s really nothing we can do
@@satanscheeks you can't lose your American citizenship like that. One of the few ways is by running for office abroad or by joining a foreign military but that's about it.
@Nova if you’re making $3 an hour to fundraiser for cancer treatment you probably aren’t in the market to pack up and move abroad….
I’m praying for you, God bless!
How you’ve been doing?
As much as I hated being a server sometimes, I do miss the good people I met. Made friends and had some fun times. I wish Cynthia a fast recovery and healthy future 🙏
Gives our hopeless minds a shred of hope in humanity but In Reality humanity needs to go extinct
Great story and great people. However, it's pathetic that in the "richest" country on the planet, people have to crowdfund for medical expenses.
No worries though, we just gave Ukraine 40 Billion in military support🙃.
@@SC68170 bruh
@@SC68170 yup LMFAOOO
@@SC68170 We spend between $600 Billion and $1 Trillion per year just on health care administrative costs because our current system is broken.
That aid wouldn't even make a dent in our healthcare system. Wonder why you chose that particular, completely unrelated, spending item to mention. 🙃
The money isn’t for the medical expenses, but for the work she will have to miss for treatment. Watch the video next time.
Am wishing her the quickest recovery.
I love hearing stories like this. The US should have universal healthcare though.
Proud to be European and Canadian felt sorry and laughing at Americans
I am an American nurse now retired, and after marrying a Frenchman, moved to France. I worry about my family in the US, not only my children and grandchildren, but the extended family of cousins, etc.
Just had chest pains in the middle of the night, was taken to the hospital and given many tests. No cost!
yup :) we have to pay for medical even if we're on the verge of dying
Laughs in European 😂 I can't imagine living in a joke country like America where I have to sell my car if I ever have to be hospitalized
No it shouldn't. The world would suffer if we did.
Hope to hear that she’s doing fine and has recovered from cancer
most people only live about 5 years after being diagnosed with bone cancer. its very painful.
@@mikedonline01 my mother's husband has been living with bone cancer since 2007, he refuses chemo and radiation.
He survives with pain meds 💊
@@SUGAR_XYLER Did say most people, and props to him
You know, if your healthcare system wasn't a giant scam but actually there to help the people, this wouldn't be necessary.
Luetzow1 I really agree with you on what you said our healthcare system needs an overhaul that needs to be designed to actually help people out but also without the huge medical bills after getting medical treatment no matter what kind of insurance etc
Obviously, we'd rather help Ukraine than help our own. We're just pawns and America is our owner
It’s disgusting how this has to be a thing. Really, the government can’t cover the cost of cancer. Hope she gets better.
Indeed. It's a feel good story about good people but it wouldn't be needed of our tax dollars actually worked for the American people rather than throwing all our money at the military industrial complex and "subsidizing" big oil and pharma and bailing out banks rather than us.
Why would they cover something they intentionally spread through the chemicals and garbage they put us through…it’s a profitable business.
I agree, when I was treated for melanoma it was allowed for health insurance not to pay, pre ACA. I used all my retirement savings to pay for it. Now I live on Social Security 30% below the Federal Poverty Level. I was just eliminated from food stamps because I have a small savings account, I am three dollars over the limit. I am saving for a new pair of glasses. I pray this lady doesn't suffer from health caused poverty like I am.
@@christinemeleg4535 poverty? You’re still 75% richer than the rest of the world. It’s not ideal being in America, but just adjust your living to fit your new budget.
@@christinemeleg4535 do you have a go fund me etc? I would love to contribute to your new glasses.
Loving seeing a community stepping up helping each other.
While the rotting government does nothing !
I have been served by her many times, the story doesn't do justice to how cool she really is in person
Edit: nothing g against your story btw
This is the world we all wish to dwell in.
Beyond fabulous, kind deeds change Lives.
My Heart has been touched.
Cynthia God was showing off when you were made.
Cynthia the universe rewards the Brave.

This is so sweet. It only takes one to start a tree of kindness and than other come to help with the branches. She must be some kind of lady for so many to reach out and not only help her. But walk by her side. God Bless all of you 💜

I just had Waffle House in Georgia, for the first time ever, in March. (I live in NY and we don’t have that) the food and service was excellent- we gave a $15 tip for takeout because of the friendly service.
I know breakfast is typically the same all over but something about Waffle House eggs. So good
funny how some people think a $15 tip is a lot. I am from NY and thats usually what people normally tip. i mean is a good amount but nothing out of the ordinary for a newyorker
@@user-eh8gt2xm7d what? I never said it was a lot, but it was takeout, not table service. Secondly, as a “fellow NYer” you would know most people don’t give anything for takeout tips- so I have no idea what your tangent is about.. always someone looking to be negative. Furthermore, our takeout order was about $50 bucks and we gave $15 bucks, I’d say that’s a pretty more than fair tip.
@@user-eh8gt2xm7d well we don't tip at all....the food is pricey enough and we refuse to pay employee wages....it's not our job ‼️
@@user-eh8gt2xm7d 15 is a normal tip to u? Lmao you definitely live in upstate
Waffle House is more than just a restaurant, it's a home and a family.
It's fighting in the parking lot 😂🤣
This is so heartwarming it almost makes you forget that the United States of America is the richest country to ever exist and its employed citizens still have to beg strangers for money so that they don’t die of cancer
It's beautiful when people come together to help someone.
🥰
It’s so beautiful when people have to crowdsource to save their life because the government won’t give them heathcare
@@johnmaster420 you're not wrong but it doesn't mean we can't celebrate people's kindness
But I mean If being cynical is your whole personality then so be it.
i completely agree.
in a world full of greed and jealousy, all it took was positive energy and vibes from this women to make an impact on her customers this much that he felt this so much he cried , she’s not just a diner waitress she’s a human , and not a lot of people see past a person occupation
Angela I concur with your sentiment 100%
Australia 💟💟💟💟
Im praying for you too, Cynthia!! You've got this, girl!
What an amazing and optimistic story. A poor person having to rely on charity to pay a nominal amount to not die,
Imagine if everybody chipped in and covered everyone else’s medical expenses so no one had to suffer financially... Nah, that’ll never happen in America.
As beautiful as the camaraderie is, it’s sad in this country people can’t go through life altering illnesses without having to worry about healthcare and living costs. I wish we could all have the comfort of knowing we could afford to live comfortably through trying times without the reliance of crowd funding or worry of debt.
Best way to avoid worrying about healthcare and living costs is to save and invest. The government is a joke.
I pray for her too, a boring routine treatment and a boring routine recovery, no setbacks no surprises! Just a sweet statement, no cancer seen! I remember that day when I heard those words....
You know you did a great job when your costumers really care about u.
I hope she recovers fast🙏
Bless you all for helping her!!
Good to see people helping others in need..!
When he said he hasn't cried since his mom passed away 😣

WOW I TRULY WISH THIS MORE TO THE WORLD
Heartwarming story
This is the meaning of life. Making another person feel loved😊❤️
Touching! Love begets love.
She has a good heart blessings on her
God bless her heart, I hope she recovers
This waffle house is in Dallas GA. I used to work with her. Years ago. And before that she had been working there for years. So crazy to see her on the news.
Wow- this is the first time I've ever seen a good story involving Waffle House!
No brawls, no shooting, just people being awesome. Pretty nice!
That only happens on Fridays and Saturdays @ 2:30am
@@SC68170 🤣🤣
That's nice that somebody cares so much about her. I wish I had that the only one who ever cares about me that much is my mom and my doctors seem to care.
Glad there is some kindness in the world.
That is super sweet. I had a waitress once that was a sweet lovely old lady that had worked her whole life and raised her grandchildren. Norma was her name and she worked at Rib Crib in Lakeland, Florida. She had bladder cancer ad had to have surgery and she made through the actual surgery but in recovery they gave her morphine and she had a bad reaction and died...... I was heartbroken as was many of her customers at the restaurant. The restaurant put up a picture of her in her honor in her section so we all felt her there, it was very nice. Rib Crib no longer in there after many years but every time I pass by I think of Norma.
Fantastic ! Let's be happy that she requires kindness from customers to help her . The NHS here in the UK is overstretched but at least I know I will get free health care . Hoping she makes a full recovery but let's not be fooled by these ' cheery ' stories of the kindness of others . Free health care for all !
god bless her
I could never forget what West Virginia went through in the 90s with the DuPont "C8" poisoning
That’s a great story! We should have more heartwarming ❤️❤️❤️ stories on TH-cam.
Beautiful story blessings always ☝🏼💯🙏🙏🙏🙏☝🏼💯👏👏👏🌟❤️🥰👍🤩
$5000? That will get you a Tylenol and a pudding cup at most hospitals. 🤪
Get well soon dear
Fought of 2 different cancers in 25 months 2 years ago.
Now I have 3 new spots on 3 different ribs.
Just found out last week.
Who what's to live forever
praying for nothing but a speedy recovery. i hope you can heal again, much love.
God bless her. Hope she is alright and will be cancer free soon. 🙏
Beautiful story
I have leukaemia. When I was diagnosed it was very active and my oncologist scheduled me for immediate chemotherapy. I had to be in hospital for five weeks, after chemo, dealing with any number of side effects. I had daily tests and procedures including MRIs, CTs, XRays, blood analysis, and specialized tests. I was seen by a variety of specialists. I stayed in a private room, as I needed to be isolated. 24 hour care. I had the most amazing care team, at night, the nurses would bring me heated blankets if I had a chill. I’ve had tremendous care since. When I went to leave the hospital, the entire bill had been covered without a penny charged to my health insurance. I received the same level of care of any head of state or hobo on the street, yet I didn’t pay a penny. It was all covered by my fellow citizens. Pretty good, eh?
People can be so beautiful ❤️
This is truly "As Good as it Gets" : )
You have one more prayer from me ☮️💯🕊❤️
This is dystopian, not a feel good story.
I lost an uncle to bone cancer. In my uncles case they discovered it so late he was gone just a couple months after finding out. Praying for this sweet waitress
