SHARE NOW

If you haven’t seen this yet, it’s great: A “positivity influencer” from Australia shared a video this week of a guy near Detroit named Ed Bambas. He’s a veteran who’s still working at age 88.

He works at a grocery store because he has to. He retired from his job at G.M. 25 years ago. But then they went bankrupt, and he lost his pension.

Samuel Weidenhofer has 2.3 million followers on Instagram. He posted the video on Monday and encouraged fans to donate on GoFundMe. Within days, they pitched in over a MILLION BUCKS to help Ed retire.
