An 89-year-old pizza delivery man was tipped over $12,000 cash by a Utah couple who started a fundraiser for him on TikTok.
Derlin Newey was speechless when TikTok star Carlos Valdez and his wife arrived at his home to personally deliver the money.
“I don’t know what to say,” Newey cried after opening the envelope stuffed with cash.
Newey has been working about 30-hours a week delivering pizzas for Papa John’s to pay the bills his social security benefits don’t cover.
Customers love him because he is so polite. They often ask for him by name.
Valdez and his wife, who have a huge following on TikTok, record and share Derlin’s deliveries on the video streaming network.
Their followers banded together to raise the money for Newey.
