WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. — Two North Carolina troopers went above and beyond to help a mother who was in a childcare bind.
KTVU reports that last month, Starbucks shift supervisor Harper Spell received a call from one of her employees, Shantaphae Blakes, who was in tears because she couldn’t find anyone to look after her child while she worked. Spell told her she could bring her daughter, Dilynn, into work and they would figure out a solution to the problem.
That solution came in the form of two state troopers.
Troopers Brad Marshall and Austin White, who are regulars at the coffee shop, looked after Dilynn for an hour while her mother worked. Spell shared the story of the officers’ act of kindness in Facebook post, which has since gone viral.
“Trooper Brad and one of his fellow partners were outstanding in making sure we could still get our job done-and even had a little fun with it,” Spell wrote.
Blakes said she feels blessed for the support she received and is overwhelmed by the attention the story has gotten. She said she has since left Starbucks and found a new job that has made it easier for her to find childcare.
