After graduating last year, Keya Thompson’s son Charles Bonds Jr. had spent his months out of the classroom relentlessly searching for a job.
Charles—known affectionately as Bam Bam—has filled out applications to work all over Gonzales, Texas, but hasn’t managed to be hired by a single person. Feeling discouraged, he broke down to his mom, who penned the beautiful interaction on Facebook:
“He asked me, ‘Mamma, is it because I’m special?’ And, of course as a mother it brought me to tears,” she writes. “I told him, ‘No, you just have to push even harder.’”
That’s just what he did!
“Nobody would give him a chance, but God is good and heard my baby cry and answered his prayer.”
After a long journey of submitting applications and getting his hopes up for just one phone call in regards to a job he desperately wanted, Bam Bam was finally hired at Whataburger.
