>An elderly worker at a movie theater was surprised with a gift of nearly $145,000 after a young woman launched an online fundraiser to help her retire.>Dig deeper: Brooklyn Green, 21, had finished watching a movie with her grandparents at an AMC in Maryville, Tennessee, when she noticed an elderly woman pushing a cleaning cart.>Green said she felt compelled by God to help the woman and started a GoFundMe account. >What they're saying: "I saw her and God led me to take a video of her and I wasn’t sure why. I drove home and posted it, and it got over $100k in less than 24 hours of posting," Green told Storyful.>"Seeing someone in their later years still working so diligently inspired me to try to make a difference," the GoFundMe description read.>The fundraiser reached over $145,000 and Green spoke with the theater’s manager to find out when and how was the best way to surprise the elderly worker, known as Mary, with the money.
>>220993471>The backstory: To Green’s surprise, the manager said Mary actually enjoyed working at the theater and had been working at movie theaters for decades. Retiring would actually have negative impacts on Mary’s life.>Despite this, the manager did tell Green that Mary would very likely still accept the funds and donate them to a church or to help the homeless, which Mary was known to do when she wasn’t working at the theater. >Local perspective: Green later showed up to the theater during Mary’s shift and presented her with a piece of paper that showed the amount of money that was raised from the GoFundMe account. >Mary said that she would use it to help a local family she was supporting.>Mary also thanked everyone who donated to the GoFundMe. >"I’m overwhelmed and certainly blessed by the Lord and you wonderful people," she said.

What a bunch of insufferable retards
>>220993524Do americans vote to create a technofeudalist dystopia? Yes.
>>220993502>to help a local family she was supportingLet me guess, they're black and will use it to buy air jordans and gold chains?
>>220993471recording strangers in public should be illegal
>>220993524She's gotta earn that ticket to heaven, pastor Billy Bob said so after claiming that Israel needs to rebuild the temple.
>>220993471wtf I love communism
old people work menial jobs because they'd be bored and lonely otherwise, not because they'd starve without the money
>>220993521>give it to children>they vape it away while stacking funko pops on the shelf
>>220993471people are forever stuck with the slave mentality
>>220993471
>>220993471Americans will look at this and will actually think it's a "feel good" story. There are millions of people like her.
>>220995188>they'd be bored and lonely otherwisei'd say that's true to an extent but to assume they don't need the money is very bizarre. do you think they all have comfortable company pensions or tons of annuities or something? a lot of elderly people barely scrape by
The person who made the gofundme was a part of the black family she was "helping". They used her as a prop to fleece gullible retards
>>220993524Yes its cheaper to start gofundmes and rely on charity than to have social wellfare systems in place. Those cost too much taxes
When I heard this story, I clapped.
Why wouldn't she just ask her if she liked working there before posting her all over the internet and starting a fundraiser?
