An 85-year-old movie theater employee in Tennessee has received nearly $150,000 (around ₹1.2 crore) in donations after a woman who did not even know her name launched a fundraiser on her behalf. Moved by seeing Mary Ellen Eron working a physically demanding shift at a theater, Brooklyn Green filmed a video that went viral, inspiring thousands of strangers to help Eron enjoy retirement, reports The New York Post.
The fundraiser collected $146,317 from more than 7,500 donors, turning a chance encounter between two strangers into an extraordinary display of generosity.
