GOOD VIBES: Tik Tok Raises $12,000 For Elderly Pizza Delivery Man
Derlin Newey is 89 years old, and when social security alone wouldn’t cover his bills, he got a job delivering pizza. He quickly became a customer favorite, often requested by name.
One of Derlin’s frequent customers, the Valdez family, posted videos of their favorite pizza delivery man on Tik Tok. Derlin’s story went viral among the Valdez family’s followers. Many even reached out asking how they could donate money to help with his bills.
The Valdezes took up a collection for Derlin via Venmo, and were able to raise over $12,000 dollars!
