Travis Winfrey
I got this email from Laurie Coots back on March 12th and thought I should share it with the jayday community ...
A big thank you to everyone who was involved in my drama last night.
Apparently when I got out of the cab from the office late last night, my wallet fell out into the street.
It was found by this amazing kid named Travis Winfrey who lives in Harlem, is 18, a model and an actor, and is NEVER on the East Side.
He saw that I was from California and found my little “important contact” numbers card and called Lee. Lee called Tom, who I’ve just found out was asleep and dreaming that Kathleen had lost her credit cards. Tom started calling me at all my numbers thinking that my purse and keys had been stolen and I wouldn’t have a place to sleep.
Meanwhile I was at the 24 hour gym, completely oblivious to the fact that I could have been so screwed had my wallet fallen into the wrong hands – lots of cash, all my credit cards, not to mention my Starbucks card and Eros’ doggie daycare ID card. In other words, my life.
When I got home from the gym at 11:30, I got caught up on all of the messages and talked to Travis. He met up with me today in the office, where my team and I gave him a standing ovation and I gave him an iPod and a check for his trouble. I thought he was going to cry he was so happy.
I just wanted to share this because it was a life affirming, pay it forward moment.
