At 78 years old, Richard Pulley came out of retirement to deliver food for DoorDash after his wife lost her job. The couple had both been making deliveries for over a year just to keep up with their bills.
A customer named Brittany Smith caught him on her Ring doorbell camera, carefully navigating her porch steps to drop off a Starbucks order. When she tried to tip him more through the app, it wouldn’t let her.
So she posted the video asking if anyone knew his name. The internet found him fast.
A GoFundMe titled “Give Richard a Chance to Rest Again” raised over $600,000 in just days. Sometimes the right story finds the right people at exactly the right time.
