Community Rallies for Veteran: Over $365K Raised to Support Disabled Vet and Wife

In an overwhelming show of support, the community has rallied together to raise more than $365,000 for Donald, a 90-year-old disabled Air Force veteran. This incredible act of kindness began when TikToker Jenelle Marie encountered Donald at U.S. Gold and Pawn in Manchester. There, he shared his heartbreaking story of pawning jewelry to afford rent and avoid eviction after his wife was diagnosed with dementia. Moved by his plight, Jenelle’s TikTok video sparked a viral fundraising effort, allowing the community to provide Donald and his wife with the financial security they desperately need during this challenging time. This surge of generosity ensures that Donald won’t have to fear eviction or separation from his wife, illustrating the profound impact of community and compassion.
