Strangers donate over $76,000 to Colorado pizza delivery driver
A fundraising campaign for Suzanna Metcalf began after a family she delivered an incorrect order to prayed with her.
More than $76,000 has been raised for Suzanna Metcalf, a pizza delivery driver in Castle Rock, Colorado, who also serves as a full-time caregiver for her 82-year-old mother, according to the Times of India.
The fundraising effort started after Metcalf apologised to Pastor Neal Seiwert and his family for a delivery mistake. Seiwert, his wife Hailee, and their three daughters went outside to pray with Metcalf, an interaction captured by a doorbell camera.
The video of the encounter was shared online by Seiwert and reached millions of viewers. After the footage gained popularity, the Seiwert family located Metcalf and received her permission to start a GoFundMe campaign to assist her with household expenses and medical needs.
The campaign initially aimed to raise $10,000, but more than 2,600 donors have since contributed, pushing the total past $76,000 over the last year.
Seiwert told the New York Post that his family wanted Metcalf to feel supported and valued. He noted that many people watching the video expressed emotional responses to the recording.
