Give Lemuel People's Jr. the Retirement He Earned

My daddy, Lemuel People’s Jr., has worked at Walmart Supercenter for over 19 years. He has been with the company since the doors opened. My father was recently fired, just two years shy of his retirement that he was so excited to receive. He couldn't wait to spend his days with his many grandchildren. My father received Employee of the Month several times while working for Walmart. He has also been recognized by just about every customer who walks through the door as the best employee, hands-down.

My dad recently had some health issues which caused him to be hospitalized for several days. He had notes for these days. However, Walmart still chose to let him go. My daddy came back to work still not being 100%, but he came anyway. They let him work all the way up to 10 minutes before his shift was over that day to call him into the office and tell him that they have to let him go because of his recent hospital stay. Every day my dad has missed, he had a doctor's note. He also has never had a vehicle and was still able to make it to work on time every day, unless he was sick. He looked at the customers as family and misses them all so much. It brings him to tears when he talks about it.

I just want to give my daddy the retirement that he deserves. He has worked since he was 18 years old, only having two jobs and never missing a year of work. He deserves better than that, don't you agree??!
