A woman near Fort Worth, Texas was surprised with a new car—nominated to receive a Christmas Wish because she always manages to stay friendly and kind, despite her valiant struggles as a single mom.
Bridgett works at Chick-fil-A in Benbrook, Texas, and anyone who visits the restaurant knows her by her infectious optimism. She brings smiles to local residents every day; knows their names and faces, as well as their orders. She’s never shy to give out hugs, hold babies for tired mothers, and everything in between.
So when her car was totaled, it’s no surprise that her friends wanted to do everything they could for her.
One of those friends was Amy. She wrote a letter to 94.9 KLTY in Dallas/Fort Worth, explaining Bridgett’s situation and the dire circumstances she was under—on top of her car being totaled, Bridgett’s son had been admitted to the hospital. A new car seemed completely out of reach.
“With my kids, it’s not ‘can we go to Chick-fil-A’, it’s ‘can we go see Bridget’, so I just felt led, like, someone needs to know about this,” said Amy. “She’s so deserving.”
She nominated Bridget for KLTY’s Christmas Wish program and station reporter Bonnie Curry called Dane Minor of Freeman Toyota, who coincidentally had been praying to find the perfect person to give a new car.

Together, Dane and Bonnie pulled up to the Chick-fil-A drive-through window to receive their order from a smiling, gracious Bridgett. As she handed them their drinks and food, Dane explained that they had a surprise for her.
Bridgett broke down in tears as her coworkers lead her outside and Dane handed over the keys—and 94.9 KLTY shared another surprise: $2,000 to get Bridgett caught up on bills and groceries.
Bridgett has been overwhelmed by the outpouring of love. “This is so deserved! Ms. Bridgett is the sweetest!” Nancy Lemons commented. “She’s always giving joy to each person she interacts with.”
