He should be retired. Instead he's on someone's porch at night delivering food so he and his wife can eat.
A doorbell camera captured an elderly man named Richard delivering a Starbucks order via DoorDash late at night. The video went viral with over one million views. The woman who received the delivery, Brittany, said it was clear from the footage that the task was physically difficult for him.
She tracked Richard down through social media and learned he started doing DoorDash after his wife was fired from her job through no fault of her own. After paying monthly expenses and medication costs, the couple had nothing left. Brittany set up a GoFundMe with the goal of helping Richard go back into retirement.
The video hit a nerve because Richard is not an exception. He represents millions of elderly Americans one lost paycheck away from having to work jobs never meant for them.
