VIDEO: Americans have raised $208K for elderly DoorDasher, Richard, who works with DoorDash in Manchester

A Tennessee woman has launched a GoFundMe to help a man who delivered her DoorDash order retire.

Brittany Smith shared a Ring camera video of Richard, her DoorDash driver who recently dropped off her Starbucks order, as part of her fundraising effort.

“It was evident from the video [that] this was a task for him,” she said. “He is precious and he is not working because he wants to; he’s working because he has to.”

Smith said she was able to track down Richard through social media and learned he does DoorDash to help pay for monthly expenses, including medication, for him and his wife.

“His wife [was] fired from her job (at no fault of her own), and by the time they pay their monthly expenses ... there is nothing left,” Smith wrote. “Let’s help Richard go back into retirement!!”

More than 1,000 people have since donated to the GoFundMe, helping raise more than $35,000 as of Wednesday afternoon.
