It is really sad to see that in different parts of the world there are people who have to work even at a very old age. The fact that pensions are quite low and the costs of a decent living are very high forces older people around the world to roll up their sleeves rather than finally enjoy old age. But when you meet people like Gregorio, who, despite the high temperatures, continue to work in the heat of the sun, you can’t remain indifferent.
A young woman caught the whole scene, worrying about her grandfather’s health, who was cleaning the parking lot of a McDonald’s in the hottest hours of the day, while three other, much younger colleagues were in the open-air restaurant. conditioned. How was that possible? The young woman posted the video on TikTok, provoking a wave of outraged reactions. A video that gathered an impressive number of people under the same umbrella of solidarity and thus helped Gregorio to “retire”.
The video depicting Gregorio cleaning, not without difficulty, the parking lot of the famous fast food restaurant, outraged many users. Seeing an elderly person working in those precarious conditions is like a heartbreak, so after the release of that video, it was decided to open a fundraiser to help Gregorio “retire.” With the support and contribution of several users, the collection was a real success: in total, raising $ 40,276!
In a later video, the same young woman who had filmed the sad scene wanted to meet Gregorio again. This time, she is no longer in the car waiting for her order but is in a room with Gregorio and his granddaughter.
In the second video, Gregorio thanks the woman, his niece, and, above all, all those who helped him by donating some of their money. Now, everyone hopes that Grandpa will be able to enjoy more than a few days of rest due to the immense generosity of those who gave of their little. We really wish that from the bottom of our hearts!
