When 81-year-old Larry Bailey, wearing a knee brace, climbed three flights of stairs to deliver Ireland Dannehold her Panera Bread order with a smile. She tipped him generously and shared footage of their interaction from her doorbell camera on TikTok.
The video quickly went viral, reaching 1 million viewers in 2 days. Many people commented that they would like to help Larry so Ireland started a go fund me page. As of this morning there is $22,418 in there.
News 4 Jacksonville reports that Monday Ireland and Larry met again but this time so she could give him the money! Larry says 22 grand is a lot more money then he made last year. He's not sure if the money will be enough for him to retire but it certainly makes it easier to take more days off to rest. "I guarentee I won't be wasting this money".
