“Christmas day 2012 my family and I lost our home to a fire. Gina McDaniel reached out to me and my family. I will never ever forget her for what she did for us. From clothes to a candle ‘just because,’ and everything inbetween, Gina made sure we had what we needed. I tried to pick a word that best describes her and the one that kept coming up is ‘angel,’ and that is just what she is. She does everything she can to help every single person that comes through the doors of her thrift shop and all the people she hears about. Gina is one of the most amazing people I have ever met and there is no doubt she does deserve this honor. She was, is and always will be a blessing to my family.” “I can’t tell you how many late nights I’ve seen Miss Gina at the shop working. I am a college student currently living off campus, and she has given me so many kitchen appliances and utensils. She has been through so much, yet she still has an open heart to help those who needed it. I’ve never met anyone so selfless. Words simply cannot describe the impact and inspiration that she has had on my life.”
