Butch Marion, 82, said he “always had a nice word” for his customers while he worked as a cashier at a Walmart store location in LaVale, Maryland.
Marion was working at the Maryland Walmart last month when Rory McCarty, a bug extermination business owner, came in to purchase batteries.
“And here this 82-year-old man is standing there, and I found out he had an eight-hour shift. And he's just grinding at his age, and I was just blown away,” McCarty said.
McCarty posted a video of Marion on TikTok and asked his followers if anyone would be willing to donate to the man.
“You would not believe the response,” he said. “400,000 views, just like that.”
A few days later, McCarty got Marion’s permission to launch a fundraiser, and they reached $100,000 in donations in just days. The fundraiser has now swelled over $140,000.
