His name is Don. He is 81 years old and puts over 200,000 miles a year on his car delivering lost airline luggage because it’s the only job that will hire him. He isn’t doing this by choice—his beautiful wife of 51 years, Josephine, is currently fighting a severe battle against pancreatic cancer. The medical bills are crushing them and his car keeps breaking down. At 81, he should be home holding her hand, not lifting bags that weigh half as much as he does on the highway. I started a GoFundMe as their local neighbor to get Don home. Please help us share his story and get him off the road. 💔👇Link to help Don retire is pinned in comment section! #gofundme#mutualaid#humanity#kindness#helpdon
Mula sa Texas, inihahatid niya sa mga tahanan ng mga tao ang mga nawawalang bagahe bilang isang independiyenteng kontratista. Nagtatrabaho siya para makatulong sa mga gastusing medikal ng kanyang asawa, na nagpapagamot para sa kanser.
Matapos siyang makitang nahihirapan sa mabibigat na maleta, nagpasya si Erin Howell na humanap ng paraan para makatulong.
Two weeks ago Don was a stranger on my door cam. He showed up with lost luggage. 81 years old. Taking the stairs one bag at a time. I asked why he was doing a job that hard. He said it was the only one that would hire him. He’s doing it for his wife, Josephine. Cancer. Married since 1969. I found out today his car is done. He’s getting rides however he can. He still had one more delivery, so he Ubered there and back. At 81. After already putting a brutal amount of miles on that car for her. I made a GoFundMe so he can stop. In 9 days, generous strangers have organically donated $4,000. I’m so thankful. People have liked, commented, and reshared who will never meet him. That kindness is already changing things. https://gofund.me/9c60d9f1b If you can help, use the link. If you can’t, please follow this page — at 1,000 followers it becomes clickable. I won’t buy followers — I’d rather people follow because they care about Don and Josephine. If you can’t give, that still helps. 🙏 Let’s get him home with her. ❤️ #fyp#foryou#viral#gofundme#humanity
Nagsimula si Howell, residente ng The Colony malapit sa Dallas, ng kampanya sa GoFundMe upang makaalis si Johnson sa trabahong iyon at makatulong sa pagpapagamot sa kanyang asawa. Naging konkretong tulong ang pag-aalala ng isang kapitbahay dahil sa pangangalap ng pondo.
Layunin nitong maibsan ang pinansiyal na pasanin habang nagpapagamot ang kanyang asawa. Nagtatrabaho si Donald para suportahan ang kanyang pamilya; sinisikap naman ni Howell na magbukas ng isa pang posibilidad para sa kanya.
Sa edad na 81, nakatanggap din ng suporta ang kanyang kuwento mula sa isang kapitbahay.
