A former Tim Hortons employee from North Vancouver is suffering from kidney failure, and her former coworkers are scrambling to raise funds for her surgery. Her boss has started a fundraiser at his Tim Hortons shop, her former place of employment, and at the other shops that he owns. Camba, the former employee, got her visa revoked when she got sick because she was no longer in good health, and is being forced to return to the Philippines. Her surgery, which she hopes to have done in the Philippines, will cost $24,000, and with the help of Tim Hortons staff and customers, she has already raised $10,000.

I think that this is very good publicity for Tim Hortons. It shows that they value each of their employees and that it is a great place of employment. Tim Hortons has also been known to be involved in many fundraisers in the past, and even have their own charity, the Tim Hortons Childrens Foundation (more information on that can be found here). I believe that this is an incredible point of difference that puts Tim Hortons about other businesses in their industry.
