Customer surprises Dunkin’ employee with fully furnished house after being evicted from home

A Dunkin’ employee in Ohio is expressing her gratitude after a Christmas miracle happened to her.

Ebony Johnson told ABC affiliate WCPO that the woman she befriended in the drive-thru line ended up gifting her a fully furnished home.

When Suzanne Burke found out that her friend Ebony had recently been evicted from her home, she knew she had to do something.

“When she experienced this hardship, I just wanted to see if I could help her just improve her life and the life for her kids,” Suzanne told the outlet. “I wanted to make sure that they had stable housing so that she could continue to provide the excellent service she does at Dunkin’.”

With the help from local organizations and designers, Suzanne was able to surprise Ebony and her kids with a new, fully-furnished home. Truly, a Christmas miracle!

“I’m just so thankful we’re back in our home,” Ebony said. “The Lord really looked out for me because I kept praying and saying, ‘Could I be at home before Christmas?’ “

Suzanne, a loyal Dunkin’ customer met Ebony three years ago in the Dunkin’ drive-thru line.

“I go every morning,” Suzanne told the outlet. “Ebony has worked the drive-thru for three years and really has provided amazing customer service.”

Suzanne noticed that Ebony was absent for a few weeks, she reached out to her. She learned that Ebony had been evicted from her Mount Healthy home and had nowhere to live.

Suzanne asked help from New Life Furniture Bank, a gently-used furnishing bank for those in need, and staging designer Jo Potvin of Design to Market, WCPO reported.

Potvin and the local organization ended up working together to fully furnish and decorate the new home for Johnson and her kids so that it was move-in ready.

The final result was unveiled to Johnson and her family on Friday, and the emotional moment was captured by WCPO.

“Thank y’all so much,” Johnson said through tears. “Thank you so much for helping me.”
