Ayoung woman in Idaho had raised almost $60,000 for an elderly DoorDash delivery driver after she watched him struggle on her front steps.

Anabelle Grace Stephens, 21, captured the 71-year-old man, Kerry Judd, on her doorbell camera last week.

The video shows him moving slowly up and down her front stoop to deliver the food she ordered.

Touched, Stephens shared the clip on TikTok and launched a GoFundMe for Judd in hopes to help him finally retire — and donations have quickly poured in.

On Tuesday night, the total was $58,945, with more than 2,500 people donating to help Judd.

He walked slowly up and down her front stairs, leaning on the railing for support, while dropping off her food delivery
Commenters were heartbroken by the clip and said the US needs to take better care of its elderly so they don't have to work
Stephens launched a GoFundMe so that Judd can give up one of his two jobs, and has raised thousands of dollars so far
After speaking to DoorDash, she connected with her driver who said he works to 'make ends meet' - despite 'dealing with some health issues'
Judd added that his wife died in 2011 and he has 'two sons under his care' so works two jobs

1. It is indeed a sad commentary on our greedy capitalist system

That the elderly have to work to make ends meet in the wealthiest county in all of human history.

Just disgusting.

Good for the young lady that did what she could to help.

12. It is designed to work this way. (n/t)

[Woodswalker]

2. Not a feel good story to me

More of a what the fuck is wrong with America story

[rpannier]

3. Yep

I felt that way when I lived in Korea
At least they've spent the last 15 years trying to be better
The U.S. is just...

[twodogsbarking]

16. Exactly. Keep reading and commenting. Well done.

[Woodswalker]

4. What happened to the Kinder Gentler nation

George Bushy Sr talked about???

[Raster]

6. It's ALWAYS BEEN kinder, gentler nation for the Bush* family...

... Always.

5. And Jeff Bezos

gets to fly to heaven in a giant space penis.

'Murica!!!

7. willing to bet the sons are not actually disabled

With anything more than their behinds having a magnetic attraction to the couch and a complete lack of shame about making their father work to support them.

And they will blow through that money on "toys" for themselves within one month.

[luv2fly]

11. Wow...

Yeah just... wow.

[Sherman A1]

13. And this is based upon.......what?

You seem to not believe the gentleman who is out trying to provide for all of them for what reason?

Seems a rather mean spirited post.

[alphafemale]

17. If they were disabled he would have said that.

He didn't say that.

[Sherman A1]

18. Why does he need to explain it?

The gentleman does not report to you.

[alphafemale]

22. You seem to like lay adults

Living off their parents.

[Sherman A1]

23. You seem to like to make assumptions

About the lives of others which you know nothing about.

And the old saying is that when you assume, you make an ……..

Okay bid you good day as you are not an individual with whom I believe I wish to interact on this board any longer.

19. +1

[smirkymonkey]

28. That's what struck me.

What is a man of retirement age, who is obviously not in the best of shape doing supporting 2 sons who can't be much older than 50?

Unless they are completely disabled, they should be ashamed of themselves.

[alphafemale]

29. Exactly

There are so many work at home options available now.

I you can communicate on the Internet or game all day your fingers could be doing a job.

[progressoid]

8. $63,675 now.

Expect it to continue to grow with media exposure

15. While I get a

GoFundMe request from a woman in Texas, battling colon cancer, and finding out she needs $900 for gallbladder surgery. This is an effed up country where we have to raise funds for healthcare.

[Demovictory9]

24. $79k now

[WhiskeyGrinder]

9. Ridiculous that we'll do this for one person, but taxes to do it for all is unacceptable.

[onethatcares]

10. nail hit hammer.

my thoughts exactly along with what is he going to do next year when that 60k is gone and another ten older folks are living on the gofundme money he got?

[OldBaldy1701E]

14. We will do things that 'look good' for the camera

Right up to the point where we have to actually do something that works. Then, it is all about 'why should I pay for it?'. Besides, that amount might make his life easier for a very short time, but our system is designed so that it has to be constantly fed. If you don't feed the system, you don't get squat. (Hell, even when you do feed the system, you may still get nothing, but again, it is rigged to happen that way.) Please forgive my outburst, but today the 'new' vehicle we spent out last money on to try and get work is now fucking up. We cannot afford to deal with it. We live in Minneapolis, which is a money town. If you don't have any, you ain't shit. So, we are now less than shit. We will probably be on the street soon enough. In Minneapolis. In winter. U.S.A.! U.S.A.! U.S.A.! U.S.A.! U.S.A.!

(The simple fact is that we as a nation could be correcting all of this. The fact that we have not tells me all I need to know about the 'good ole' U.S.A..)

[Solly Mack]

20. Thank you

[Fix The Stupid]

21. "Well, that would be "unfair" right?

Why should I have worked my whole life so this guy can have a "free ride"?

Until this thinking is destroyed, these stories will remain common.

Unfortunately.

[Poiuyt]

25. You people don't understand! We need to protect Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos!

Sarcasm of course.

What this country does to the elderly is positively disgraceful.

[PlanetBev]

26. Being 71, this really hit home

It gets harder and harder to schlep stuff around at our age.

What a kind, thoughtful young woman. Always good to remember if you live long enough, you too will experience the unique struggles of aging.

[Buddy2]

27. Very sad. I had a 76 year old call me today for a job

Plenty of people are barely surviving.
