Donuts for Time
When John Chhan’s wife, Stella, was laid up in a hospital recovering from a brain aneurysm, he wanted more than anything to be by her side day and night, but couldn’t because he also needed to run his donut shop. Luckily for him, the people of Seal Beach, California, came through and saw to it that he could be by his wife’s bedside and still keep his business afloat.
CBS 2 reported on November 2 that customers had grown accustomed to seeing both John and Stella behind the counter of Donut City and took note of Stella’s absence. When they learned that she suffered an aneurysm and was recovering in rehab and that John could only be by her side when the shop sold out of doughnuts each day, they decided that they would help get him there quicker. They simply bought out his donuts early each day so he could rush off to the rehabilitation center.
“Chhan declined customers’ offer to set up a GoFundMe account for the couple, saying he simply wants more time with his wife,” CBS 2 explained.
