A wonderful human being

Sun., April 12, 2020

God bless Jolly Ghebreab of Bong’s Grocery and Deli (“At Bong’s Grocery and Deli, the customers come first,” April 1). Not a whole lot of kind, generous, loving people like him in the world. We got a wonderful gift from East Africa.

What wonderful thinking to deliver things to people in need and divvy up a box of diapers so he could sell one or two to people who can’t afford a whole box. So many generous things he’s doing for his neighborhood. Not just his neighborhood, but I’d wager he’d help anyone, anywhere. The article brought tears to my eyes to think what a wonderful human being he is.
