Thanks to a fateful food delivery order, the two women quickly become friends when they need it most.<\/p>\n
A 14-second video posted by Brianna Davila of Princeton, Texas, on May 1st quickly went viral, and at first glance it appears to be a group of longtime friends hanging out.<\/p>\n
“That’s not true. ‘My bread doesn’t look like that!’ That’s crazy,” says Davila, exclaiming with joy.<\/p>\n
A woman leans forward as she laughs and eats a hamburger with Davila in the kitchen. It was a casual relationship, typical of long-standing friendships, but Davila and DoorDash driver Quianna Reliford had only met a short time earlier.<\/p>\n
“I ordered some sour candy, thinking it would help with my anxiety and panic attacks, and told the doorman that I was literally feeling depressed,” Davila wrote in the video, adding context that he invited Reliford to “make him a burger” because he didn’t want to be alone.<\/p>\n
“It literally took less than 10 minutes,” Davila told TODAY.com, adding that she recorded the moment for future difficult times and never expected it to go viral.<\/p>\n
“The first thing she did when she saw my buns was, ‘I don’t have any buns like these at home,’ and I started laughing because they were bakery buns, but they were like Walmart’s Great Value buns,” she says. \u201cWe clicked right away.\u201d<\/p>\n
Commenters were fully supportive of this friendship, calling it “insanely cute.”<\/p>\n
“This is how the best friendships are made,” said one TikTok user.<\/p>\n
“Friends please tell me now,” another added.<\/p>\n
And someone empathized, writing: “Me and my Uber driver went to a bar.”<\/p>\n
“You DoorDashed your new best friend,” another person wrote.<\/p>\n
In a screenshot of the DoorDash chat, Davila tells Reliford, “Just so you know, I’m a mess and I’m sad so don’t worry if I’m crying. Once I start singing, I can’t stop (lol),” Davila told Reliford, adding, “Don’t judge me. I’m literally a mess and I’m so depressed. Honestly, I need a hug.”<\/p>\n
Reliford replied, “Trust me that everything happens for a reason, I love you.”<\/p>\n
Davila said she has struggled with anxiety and depression for most of her life, which led her to “deal with alcohol in an unhealthy way.”<\/p>\n
No one was home to help Davila that night, but when she arrived, Reliford said she immediately knew she could do it.<\/p>\n
“I was supposed to sit there for about an hour and then go to my birthday dinner, and I managed to make it in time,” Reliford told TODAY.com. <\/p>\n
“I was like, you know, I always give gifts to my friends if things don’t work out for me, and I was like, ‘I feel like they’re going to be willing to wait for me even though my life is literally at stake,'” she added. “You can’t please everyone all the time, but reality is reality. In that moment, she needed me and I had time.”<\/p>\n
D\u00e1vila said he felt especially “hopeless” because he cut ties with friends who might have affected his sobriety.<\/p>\n
“I just wanted hugs from my husband, from people close to me, from strangers,” she says.<\/p>\n
After the exchange, Mr. Davila realized that he had not received a thank-you phone number from Mr. Reliford. People on the internet helped her find her, and Reliford posted her own TikTok.<\/p>\n
