Around the end of Eric’s first month working for us, we discovered a heartwrenching truth about where he was in life. He’d fallen behind on bills (which I’ve been as well) and was sleeping in his car, while trying to hold down two full time jobs — us and another restaurant. Soon after, the car was repossessed. He hit rock bottom. At this point, he had a choice to make: sleep on his buddy’s couch all day feeling miserable and sorry for himself, or he could find a way to turn things around — so he did.
