People raise over $370k for 90-year-old Air Force veteran who was seen pawning jewelry to care for wife with dementia

They ran into each other when Marie saw Donald in a Gold and Pawn shop in Manchester, New Hampshire.

The veteran shared that he was selling his jewelry to pay his rent and take care of his ill wife, who had just been diagnosed with dementia. To add considerably more pressure to this, their landowner has chosen to raise the lease and Donald dreaded he and his significant other could be removed.
In a video presented on her page, Marie gave Donald an envelope loaded up with $1,300 from commitments between herself, her life partner, and 25 other kind outsiders who contributed.
The flying corps vet was overpowered with appreciation and promised to reimburse the blessing with a supper, when he could manage the cost of it.

However, things only improve from here on out.
Marie then started a GoFundMe campaign for him, which has received over 13,000 contributions.
Even though the goal was only $350,000, more than $370,000 has been raised for Donald as of now.

So what is the cash in any event, for? Well Marie, remarked that this cash would simply go towards aiding the vet on his monetary burdens, as well as assist him with viewing as another home.
On the mission page she remarked: ” I’m trying to find him a new place to rent that doesn’t break the bank, but I was hoping I could raise some money to ease his financial burden. Any sum would help and any assets for a one room first floor condo or house to lease would be greatly valued in the Manchester region.”

In an update, on August 9, the TikToker expressed gratitude toward every one of those gave and said she and her life partner would be plunking down with Donald and a lawyer to get all the cash in a protected record that he can get to.
Thus, everything seems to lead to a happy conclusion.
