Anabelle Grace Stephens was startled to find an older guy meticulously carrying the food that she had bought via DoorDash drive deliveries the previous week. The video from her doorbell camera shows Kerry Judd, 71, straining to go up the front stairs while holding a paper bag and a drink in one hand.
He places the products on the ground and cautiously makes his way down the steps, after which he goes to the front of the house to take a photograph of the delivery as evidence.
The young woman from Idaho, who is 21 years old, was happy with the service; nevertheless, what struck her most was the fact that a guy his age is still employed to support himself. “Honestly, that made me quite sad and I was aware that if it had been my grandfather, I wouldn’t have wanted to see him at work.”
“I really hope that this elderly gentleman is just working so that he may keep himself busy and keep himself active. Working until old age shouldn’t be a need,” stated one of the comments on the video, however, Anabelle would quickly learn that this was not the case, which was unfortunate for her.
After that, she started a GoFundMe campaign for Kerry in the hopes of assisting him in ultimately retiring and, hopefully, no longer having to make doordash drive deliveries. Anabelle decided to set the goal for the amount of donations at 100 thousand dollars. The donations began coming in quite quickly after that.
“I have been struggling with various health concerns, which have, at times, made it difficult for me as It isn’t easy with DoorDash’s base compensation of $2.50 every delivery,” he said.
She typed out the following message: “Let’s help this guy leave at least one of his jobs!!!!”
To now, the fundraising effort has brought in a total of $103,576, which, if everything goes according to plan, would enable Kerry to stop working two jobs and retire early so that he may spend more time with his loved ones.
