Richard Pulley was still working delivery shifts at 78. After a doorbell camera clip touched the internet, a fundraiser snowballed to $965,868.
A homeowner's doorbell camera caught 78-year-old Richard Pulley making a delivery, and something about a man still working that hard, that late in life, moved the people who saw it. A stranger started an online fundraiser on his behalf, and donations poured in from around the world.
By March 20, the GoFundMe had reached $965,868 — close to a million dollars handed to a man who never asked for a thing. He was presented with the check in person, surrounded by people who simply wanted his life to get a little easier.
