Dallas French was exhausted and hungry after her family left the Arkansas Children’s Hospital where her 4-month-old daughter was being treated for E. Coli. Endless salad and breadsticks were calling, so the little family made their way to the local Olive Garden. But as they settled in, the day just seemed to get worse.

French had to feed her daughter a special formula that would help her battle her infection, but just as she was finished preparing the bottle, it fell to the floor and spilled everywhere. The overwhelming moment was almost too much for French, but at that exact moment an Olive Garden employee stepped in to save the day.
French took to Facebook to describe her heartwarming encounter.
I forgot to post this Thursday after all that had happened that day I was really out of it (and probably the lack of sleep this past month) but we went to Olive Garden in little rock after Ellees tests at Children’s hospital and she was starving and I was trying to make a bottle and spilled it all over me an the floor and made another bottle and our waiter ( wish I knew his name) watched all that had happened and just had brought our salad and bread sticks and said here let me feed her and you eat..
Dallas FrenchThis melted all of us and this is what we need more of! He fed her I ate my salad and bread sticks and that milk on the floor got cleaned up after we left because he just understood! He didn’t even know what we had went through that day and showed us love an understanding- not irritated that I had made a mess an my baby was screaming… Gosh I wish I woulda got his name because he deserves the recognition!! And it’s the Olive Garden on Rodney parham in little rock AR!
