GoFundMe Raises $57K for 92-Year-Old Retail Worker (Full Transcript)

[00:00:00] Speaker 1: Meet Muriel. She is 92 years old and still working at her local Burlington clothing store. She says her social security isn't enough to cover the bills.

[00:00:09] Speaker 2: It's the rent and it's the car payment and the car insurance and the telephone, electricity and cable.

[00:00:15] Speaker 1: The sight of Muriel still at work shocked customer April.

[00:00:19] Speaker 3: My heart sank. I thought why is a 92-year-old woman working? It just seemed unbelievable to me.

[00:00:26] Speaker 1: After posting about Muriel in a local Facebook group, April set up a GoFundMe to try and help her retire and get enough money to repair her mobile home. After just a few weeks, April was able to raise $5,000 for Muriel.

[00:00:39] Speaker 2: I was really surprised. Yeah. And I didn't know she was going to do all this. I thought she was just going to give me a card and say, you know, and say, you know, she said this is to help you, you know.

[00:00:50] Speaker 1: And now that number has skyrocketed more than 10 times to over $57,000.
