After coming into the Waffle House to pick up his breakfast, the generous pastor gave the young woman $40, much to Hannah\u2019s surprise.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShe was so nice over the telephone, and when I got there, I paid for my food and I told her to keep the change,\u201d Bishop Phelps recalled. \u201cAnd then when I looked at her, I asked if she was pregnant \u2014 she said yes, so, at that time, I was just really urged to give her the rest of the money that I had in my wallet, which was around $40,\u201d he added, but he\u2019d soon be compelled to do even more.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI gave her the $40, and I told her that I just wanted to be able to bless her so that she could buy something for the baby,\u201d Phelps explained, but the young waitress and her unborn child continued to weigh on his mind, especially after learning the name that Hannah intended to give her unborn son.<\/p>\n<p>After thanking Phelps for the generous tip, a gracious Hannah said she planned to name her baby Samual, which just so happened to be the name of Phelps\u2019 son, who died in Atlanta seven years prior. With the anniversary of his son\u2019s death approaching, this revelation struck a particularly bittersweet chord with Phelps, The Blaze reported.<\/p>\n<p>Although Hannah was already extremely appreciative of Phelps\u2019 gesture, the pastor felt compelled to do something more, so he went home and devised a plan with his wife without Hannah\u2019s knowledge. In fact, she would have no idea what the man had done until she received a call, telling her that she needed to get down to the Waffle House quickly.<\/p>\n<p>After receiving a phone call from her mother-in-law, telling her to get down to the restaurant right away, Hannah arrived at the Waffle House where she was greeted by Phelps and other customers who were ready to present her with another surprise \u2014 a check for more than $12,000, which the pastor had raised for her.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"$40 tip leads to more than $12K in donations for pregnant Waffle House waitress\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ysX9Fw0sGNk\" width=\"100%\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>\u201cI went home, I told my wife what happened,\u201d Phelps said, recalling what occurred after first meeting Hannah. \u201cI was like, \u2018Listen, I wanna raise a thousand dollars to give to Hannah so she can buy whatever she needs for the baby,\u201d he added, and he set out to complete that mission, never imagining it would become much bigger than he had ever hoped.<\/p>\n<p>After taking to Facebook to reveal his plan to help the needy mom, the generous pastor\u2019s post generated more than $12,00o in donations from the community. Unbeknownst to the pastor or those who contributed, it was the answer to prayers that Hannah had been praying. With one child already, the young mom had serious concerns about what life would be like when the new baby arrived and was \u201creally stressing.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2855\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2855\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-2855 td-animation-stack-type0-2\" src=\"https:\/\/ziraatkredileri.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/120301484_3419687144764626_3329362951577862879_n-550x722-1-229x300.jpg\" sizes=\"(max-width: 229px) 100vw, 229px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ziraatkredileri.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/120301484_3419687144764626_3329362951577862879_n-550x722-1-229x300.jpg 229w, https:\/\/ziraatkredileri.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/120301484_3419687144764626_3329362951577862879_n-550x722-1-320x420.jpg 320w, https:\/\/ziraatkredileri.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/120301484_3419687144764626_3329362951577862879_n-550x722-1.jpg 550w\" alt=\"\" width=\"229\" height=\"300\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2855\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Hannah Hill with Bishop Eusebio Phelps (Photo Credit: Facebook)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cI had a lot going on, and I don\u2019t really pray that often.
