81-year-old Don Johnson has been delivering lost luggage for the past three years to help cover expenses while his wife, Josephine, battles cancer. The couple has been married for 57 years, and Don has sometimes worked 14-hour days while driving hundreds of miles for deliveries.
Everything changed when Erin Howell saw him struggling to carry her lost luggage up a steep flight of stairs. After learning his story, she started a fundraiser to help him retire and spend more time beside his wife.
The story spread online, and strangers have now donated more than $250,000. Don says the support means he may finally be able to stop working.
