Some people hear that someone is struggling and say, "That's terrible."
And then there are people like Sonny at Princeton Ave. Deli, who hear that someone is struggling and immediately ask, "What can I do to help?" 🧡
That is exactly what Sonny did when he heard about Billy.
There was no hesitation. He welcomed Billy's flyers into his store, let me bring in a donation jug, talked to his customers about what Billy is going through, and genuinely wanted to do whatever he could to help.
That tells you everything you need to know about his heart.
Sonny is more than the owner of a neighborhood deli. He is the kind of businessman every community should be lucky enough to have — someone who knows his customers, cares about people, gets involved, and understands that being part of a community means showing up when someone needs you.
I will never forget how quickly he stepped forward for Billy.
So if you live anywhere near Princeton Ave. Deli, please support this wonderful local business. When you spend your money there, you are supporting someone who truly gives back to the people around him.
Sonny, from the bottom of my heart, thank you. Thank you for caring about Billy. Thank you for helping me spread his story. Thank you for reminding all of us what kindness and community are supposed to look like.
Billy has a long road ahead, but knowing people like you are standing beside him means more than you probably realize.
This is what community looks like. This is what having a big heart looks like. And this is why Sonny deserves to be recognized. 🧡
