Sharon Dunski Vermont's mother died in November from her battle with COVID-19 and Sharon wanted to keep her mom's memory alive while spreading an important message to others.
Sharon wanted to honor her mom by including one of her mom's favorite things. So she went to her local Starbucks and she paid for 82 white mocha's which were her mom's favorite drink. Sharon's mom was 82 so she bought one for every year of her mom's life. She asked Starbucks to give the first 82 people who ordered a white mocha their drink for free along with a letter she typed up explaining the drink was in honor of her mom.
The letter had one request: "All we ask for in return is that people mask and distance and wash their hands and stay home and do all of the things the CDC recommends to prevent the spread of COVID-19."
Sharon added: "If you really want to think of my mom, add a couple extra pumps of the white mocha. She liked it extra sweet."
