Life is a series of ups and downs, but the ups and downs usually don’t come in such quick succession. They did, though, for Lamar Austin – who watched his son being born and then immediately lost his job. But thanks to the help of complete strangers, his life is back on the upswing.
Lamar was at his wife’s side when their fourth child was born on the morning of New Year’s Day. In fact, their son, Caiman, was the first baby born in Concord, New Hampshire.
In order for Lamar to be there, he had to skip two days of work. The military veteran was working as a part-time security guard and was still in his 90-day trial period. A few hours before his son was born, Lamar received a text informing him that because he missed two days of work, he had been terminated.
