The story of 82-year-old John Miller, who had to work at a local store due to a lack of money to live, touched the hearts of thousands of people. He had to spend 8 hours a day on his feet, despite his age and health problems. But kind people united to change his life.

John, a cashier at a grocery store, always smiled at customers despite his fatigue. His story became known thanks to a random customer who asked why John was still working at such an age. “I don’t have enough pension to pay the bills,” John replied. This conversation hooked the customer, who decided to tell about John on social networks.

A Facebook post describing John’s situation instantly went viral. People shared the publication, expressed sympathy and offered help. One of the users created a fundraiser on a crowdfunding platform to help John retire.

The fundraiser exceeded all expectations. In just 24 hours, over $50,000 was raised. Thousands of people from all over the world responded to the call for help. “This is not just money, it is our gratitude for his work and kindness,” wrote one of the donors.

When John was informed of the amount raised, he could not hold back his tears. “I didn’t even know that anyone noticed me and my situation. It’s like a dream,” he admitted. Now John will be able to retire and finally enjoy time with his family and friends.

The Internet is delighted

John’s story has caused a wave of positive comments:

“This proves that the world is still full of kind people.”

John is already making plans for the future: he wants to travel and spend more time with his grandchildren. “I will never forget how many people helped me. Now I can finally rest,” he said.
