ABC11 caught up with them at Angie's Restaurant where Johnson works.

She and her husband, Skip, were overwhelmed by the generosity of their neighbors.
"I think it's a really nice way to give back," Skip Cherryholmes said. "You never know what people are going through. There is a lot of struggle in the world, especially right now."
