heartbreaking video. 72 year old woman, who can barely walk, falls while delivering pizza

[BlueWaveNeverEnd]

$256,000 raised for her.

[Iris]

1. Such a good ending, though.

Wow.

[MiniMe]

2. I wish they had the address of the gofundme for her

I would donate to that.

[BlueWaveNeverEnd]

6. here is link, but she's retired with the $256K in donations

8. Thanks, I'll donate something to her fund.

3. Kick

[Sogo]

4. I'm not crying.

You are....


She seems like such a nice woman; not at all disgruntled that she has to still be working. Such a sweet ending to the story!

5. And republicans want to cut Social Security. Go back to work, Grandma!

Mitt Romney would call her a 'taker'.

Of course, when she falls again and injures herself, republicans want to cut her Medicare as well.

[3catwoman3]

14. Yeah, poor Romney, who had to sell stock...

...while he was in college to make ends meet -

[ratchiweenie]

27. I hate Republicans!

[In It to Win It]

7. That's so cool! ☺️

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

9. What an amazing and wonderful story.

[msongs]

10. wonder how much of the she gets to keep after taxes nt

[GenThePerservering]

11. I hope for her a good life now!

She looks so prematurely aged, as if she's already had a tough, hard life, and she has to do a manual job and keep working, even with her health issues. She seems like such a bright, good person, too.

I hope she has some help investing her windfall and a wonderful retirement!!

Those Goppers are going to be pissing off a lot of people - older seniors are their most solid voting bloc, and they DO turn out to vote!

ETA: Oh yeah, and I hope this drive to eliminate SS and Medicare is what slits the party's wrists.

12. her career was "school lunch lady", not a high paying career.

that's a job with standing all day.. hard on the feet, hips and legs

[Sucha NastyWoman]

13. And not enough income to save very much

[BlueWaveNeverEnd]

21. could have been a part time job too. don't think "lunch lady' needs to be there 8 hours per day

I could be wrong though

[stage left]

15. I'm crying and

smiling, too. And donated. I'm 74. I could so easily be her.

[ShazzieB]

19. I know what you mean!

I'm 72, turning 73 best month. That could so easily be any of us!

17. No one that age as well as no one that is disabled should have to be living at the level of poverty

that so many are.
I know for a fact for example that the money for a number of those on disablity especially the younger ones that never were able to work are living on monies that fall well below the federal poverty level.

18. Only consolation for me is that promised Day of Reckoning. nt/

20. Grandma Barbara now can finally retire. The American dream. . .

[Celerity]

22. Rethug retirement plan, granny taking a dive on a porch. Fuckers' only regrets... it didn't kill her

[Emile]

24. +1 spot on!

[LuckyCharms]

23. This infuriates me.

Kudos to the family who helped this woman.

What is infuriating me is that this woman had to work at this job.

As a whole, it seems to be noteworthy, seems to be exceptional enough to turn into a national news story, when someone does the right thing and helps out their fellow human.

We don't ask to be born. We don't ask to be placed into our circumstances.

People in the Democratic party inherently recognize this, and are proponents of social safety nets. People in the other party want you to suffer before you die.

Heartbreaking.

[LuckyCharms]

30. Damn, I would have loved to have seen that deleted message.

I'm in a healthy foul mood today, and would have enjoyed it.

[GreenWave]

25. Our "system" exploits the kind-hearted and rewards the wicked.

[Emile]

29. K&R

[llmart]

31. +1

How sad and how sweet at the same time. Sad that this woman finds herself in this predicament and sweet to see that caring, loving couple take care of her. There really are lots of good people out there. I like to think the majority of us are good people.

[BlueWaveNeverEnd]

32. agreed. Glad I didn't stumble upon this story until AFTER the money was raised for her
