What a difference a day makes.

Monday, Heather Ravenstein filed
for unemployment after losing
her job as a customer service
manager at the Walmart on
West Kellogg.

She was fired because she
violated company policy
by confronting a shoplifter.

Tuesday, the single mother
received an outpouring of
support as more people learned
of her situation.

"My phone's been going
off the hook," Ravenstein says.

So far, there are two Wichita
businesses interested in
interviewing her for possible jobs.

(And) Ravenstein's landlord has
given her one month's free rent.

Some people are offering money,
including one politician (who
prefers to remain anonymous)
who would like to buy her
a grocery card and a gas card —
(but) not from Walmart or Sam's
Club .
