Magic is happening for Kathryn Thompson, a grandmother who works the night shift in a North Carolina Elon University campus cafe. Two college students, Lucy Smith-Williams and Taylor Zisholtz, raised $7,000 to send her and her family to Disney World.
It all started when Kathryn Thompson started a conversation with Lucy and Taylor. Kathryn had learned that Lucy was from Florida. After hearing this Kathryn had said that a trip to Disney is on her bucket list but she never thought she would be able to go due to the price of such an amazing vacation.
The 2 students were determined to make her dream a reality and they started a GoFundMe page and their original goal was $6,500, well they passed that! This included a $1,000 donation from a GoFundMe employee.
“I think once we got talking with her, you could see how passionate and even just in the few seconds, you could see how warm she was,” Zisholtz told the campus news website, The Pendulum.
“In a world where everybody is so cold, they keep their wishes and their feelings all to themselves. With Kathryn it was just an open door, she welcomes everyone, in and she works so hard.”
The 2 students told her the amazing news before her shift on Monday. Needless to say she was in complete shock when she heard the news.

So far she has not planned her magical vacation yet. She plans to take her son and daughter in law and her 2 grandsons.
