Kathryn Thompson is an elderly employee who has worked at the Acorn coffee shop on the Elon University campus for the past ten years. She has one dream: to take her family to Disney World.

Elon students Taylor Zisholtz and Lucy Smith-Williams heard about Kathryn's dream when they patronized the Acorn late one night and struck up a conversation with her. Lucy and Taylor had never met before, but when they heard Kathryn describing her wish to take her kids and grandkids to Disney World, they moved to the same table and started to formulate a plan.

“I moved my stuff to Lucy’s table, and we were just brainstorming ideas because I looked at her and was like, ‘We’re doing this, we can do this, we have to do something,'" Taylor told The Pendulum.

The two started a GoFundMe campaign to raise enough money for Kathryn to take her son, daughter-in-law, and two grandsons to Disney World (which the girls estimated to be roughly $6,000).

Amazingly, it only took three days for the girls to raise $6,500.

Taylor attributes the generosity to Kathryn (and the coffee shop) being a campus favorite.

“Everyone knows Acorn, everyone eats their cookies, everyone’s been there a million times,” Taylor told The Pendulum. “It’s Elon, it’s their school, it’s their stomping ground, it’s something they can link to and it’s doing good for someone, and who doesn’t like doing good?”

The girls presented the gift to Kathryn, along with some bags of Disney goodies and a poster from the GoFundMe page with all the kind comments about Kathryn.

Kathryn couldn't stop weeping tears of joy upon receiving the amazing gift. "Are you serious??"

Taylor wrote an extensive thank you to everyone on the GoFundMe page update:

I have said it before but we just truly had one of the most shocking days today as we witnessed the love and generosity pour in from across the country. Kathryn is an exceptional person and deserves every ounce of love she is receiving. We just wanted to make it totally clear that every cent of donation is headed to make Kathryn's trip as incredible as we can possibly make it for the whole family. The messages, shares, likes, texts, and all the other forms of sweet words and encouraging thoughts are so, so appreciated by both Lucy and myself. Not one message has gone unnoticed, every kind word has made us smile from ear to ear.

We're not crying, YOU'RE crying! *sniffle*
