A kind-hearted restaurant owner is selling his business to help his teenage waitress get potentially life-saving brain tumour surgery.
Brittany Mathis, 19, was diagnosed with the small tumour in December but can't afford surgery to remove it.
Manager and boss Michael De Beyer has offered to sell his Kaiserhof Restaurant in Montgomery, Texas, which he has run for 17 years, to help his employee out.
He told The Montgomery Courier: “I’m not able to just sit by and let it happen.
“I couldn’t live with myself - I would never be happy just earning money from my restaurant knowing that she needs help.”
Brittany's mum Barbara Mathis, who also works there with her older sister Kay, is desperate for any help she can get to save her daughter.
Her husband John, Brittany's dad, reportedly died from a brain aneurysm caused by a tumour in 2000.
Brittany told KHOU.com: "I have my good days and my bad, I get headaches."
She added: "I never thought anybody would do that, and they did. It just makes me feel really good."
