The day after losing her husband, Adam, to heart disease, Alisha Wisbey went to get a coffee at Dutch Bros., Vancouver, a place she regularly visited. When these Dutch Bros Coffee workers saw that the woman in the drive-thru was “falling apart,” they decided to extend their hands out to her car and pray for her.
“They wanted to let me know that I’m not alone and they feel my pain,” Alisha explained to Fox 12. “And that no matter what faith you are, what color you are, who you are, other people can feel your pain and they’re there for you.”
However, they didn’t realize that a customer behind them had taken a photo and posted it to social media, where it went viral.
Along with the picture above, Barbara shared these words detailing the emotional encounter:
Dear Dutch Bros Coffee, snapped this picture while waiting in line at the Dutch Bros on 138th Avenue today. Turns out the young lady in line ahead of us lost her 37-year-old husband last night. When the DB guys & gals noticed she was falling apart, they stopped everything and prayed with her for several minutes, invited her to come back for prayer and support, as well as anything else that she might need. Prayers for the young family, and you know where to stop for coffee!
Pierce Dunn and Evan Freeman were the two Dutch Bros workers praying for her.
“Her husband passed and as soon as she said that, I’m like, ‘there’s nothing more you need to say, we got this,’” Evan said. “We’re going to do what we do every time there’s someone in pain or hurt. We’re going to give them our love.”
