GOOD NEWS: Alexandra Eala Gives Back in the Sweetest Way
Tennis star Alexandra Eala has shown that champions aren’t just made on the court — they’re made in the heart. When she heard that a small restaurant, which had once given her free breakfasts during high school, was on the brink of closing, she quietly stepped in.
Eala spent $80,000 to help save the beloved eatery, covering repairs and donating a brand-new sign. For three years, the restaurant had served her without asking for a single peso in return. Now, it was her turn to return the kindness.
When the new sign was revealed — reading “A home for the people who lit my dreams every morning” — the owner was so moved, he couldn’t hold back tears.
It’s proof that gratitude, like good food, always finds its way back to the table.
