When times are tough, the community will always be there to pick you up. Although such a statement can sound like a cliché, the community in Manchester, New Hampshire, is proving that it is true, after more than a quarter of a million dollars was raised for a 90-year-old veteran, who was struggling to make ends meet as he cares for his sick wife."I never realized that there were so many wonderful, thoughtful, generous people in the world. It's just, it's mind-boggling, and I'm so overwhelmed, I really don't know what to say," said Donald, who asked for his last name not to be included. "Something like that has just never happened to me before."When Donald stopped by U.S. Gold & Pawn in Manchester to make some extra money, after his rent was raised and money became tight, a woman who helps out at the store, Jenelle, said that she decided to raise money to help him. Through her family and friends on GoFundMe, she and her fiancé raised $1,300.Jenelle presented the money to Donald, capturing it on video, who was seemingly overwhelmed by the gift. When she posted it on TikTok, it went viral, pulling in more than 8 million views and more than $270,000 in donations, as of Friday evening.She said that she has received messages from people all across the globe looking to help Donald."There's someone from Budapest. There's someone from Australia, someone from Ireland, England, Bangladesh," Jenelle said.Donald, who is a Vietnam War veteran, said that his wife recently became sick, and he has been caring for her. The couple have no children or remaining family, he said, adding that he will turn 91 years old in a few weeks, and although he remains deeply committed to her, at times, financially, circumstances can become difficult."When you get married, you say, for better or for worse, richer or poor and so on. And so this is what I signed up for. I have an obligation to her, and I love her dearly," Donald said. "She's the best thing that ever happened to me besides this, of course, this is the second best!"Donald said that he hopes that his story, will help inspire other people to help other veterans, who are also in difficult situations."I think it restores my faith in humanity," he said. "I'm hoping that this will inspire people out there to maybe do something similar to help all of the rest of the unfortunate veterans that are out there because they desperately need help. They really do."Donald and the team at the pawn shop added that they would like to thank everyone who has generously donated to the fundraiser to help."God bless all of them because they are rare, exceptional people willing to step out and help somebody else. I think that's the most wonderful thing in the world," he said.
