A Walmart cashier worked his last shift thanks to a TikToker who helped raise more than $100,000 for his grandpa.
A man from Cumberland, Maryland, was able to retire after receiving a check for more than $100,000. The post about the widower on TikTok went viral.
"As a business owner and knowing how hard it's been to try to find good help for my business, I was astounded seeing this little older man still grinding working 8 to 9 hour shifts."
A video shared by Fox 5 Washington DC shows a man leaving his job and walking to a parking lot filled with his friends and family. Both men were emotional as they accepted a check from McCarty.
As he handed him the check, McCarty said he loved him.
He has a following on TikTok with videos that show him ridding homes of creeps. More than 3.3 million people watched his initial post aboutMarion.
After watching a video of a fellow TikToker raising money for an older Walmart employee who wasn't financially able to retire, he was inspired to start a campaign. He met the cashier at the Cumberland store while buying batteries.
"I wanted to help this navy veteran to live the rest of his years traveling to see his kids in Florida, so that he could continue to serve his country." For 8 hours at a time, get him off his feet. He might not be able to do the things he wants to do for financial reasons.
An additional $12,500 has been raised from donors.
The two rode ATVs and had a good time, according to David Kaplan. They had a hangout on TikTok.
They said they have forged a friendship that will last a long time.
Fox 5 said thatMarion plans to take it easy.
Kaplan said that the man wants to sit by the river and drink a beer.
