“If you had a gorgeous old pizza delivery man like him, you wouldn’t be able to deal! I couldn’t help but cry because it was so wonderful, the most amazing act of kindness I’ve seen in a long time!! “I swear I didn’t cry,” says the 89-year-old man. Something got into my eyes as I was cleaning.”

“This truly is a Blessing! I’m blown away by the number of people that engaged out of the goodness of their hearts, as well as the kids who came up with the idea of creating a pizza delivery driver account. God has blessed you in so many ways because of the generosity of everyone who donated that you have no clue. This video had an emotional impact on me unlike any other.”

“Aaww It moved me to tears. I would have donated if I had known. It’s absurd that he’s out there like this at his age (sic). Having to work even if he didn’t want to. This is the type of delivery driver who receives a large tip. Derlin, you’ve done a fantastic job.”
