When Anabelle Grace Stephens shared footage from her door camera of an elderly delivery driver dropping off her takeaway on TikTok last week, she never expected it would go viral.
But within days, the clip - which was shared on Annabelle's account, @annabellegracestephens - had over 10 million views and more than 17,000 comments from people who were concerned that the man was still working instead of being able to enjoy retirement.
One comment on the video read: "This makes me so, so sad. I get all emotional when I see the elderly working to survive."
While someone else wrote: "I hope this old man is just working because he wants to stay active and have something to do. Old people shouldn't have to work."

Rather than sitting back and basking in her online fame, Anabelle decided to do something nice for the 71-year-old delivery driver named Kerry Judd by setting up a fundraiser to take donations for the man's retirement fund.
The 21-year-old woman from Idaho, USA, reached out to Kerry and set up a GoFundMe page for him before sharing the details of the fundraiser online - and within just five days, kindhearted strangers have managed to pull together more than $84,000 (£62,500).
On the GoFundMe page, Kerry explained he also works as a security guard on top of his delivery driver job and is struggling to "make ends meet" as he's also caring for his two sons following the death of his wife in 2011.
He said: "I am a 71-year-old security guard, single, with two sons under my care. My wife died in 2011 and I am a DoorDash Driver to make ends meet.
"I have been dealing with some health issues that have affected my Dashing abilities at times. I love sharing my DoorDash experience with others so they can earn income and be successful in their dashing experience.
"It isn’t easy with DoorDash basic pay of $2.50 per delivery. DoorDash fees are expensive so people don’t always tip because times are tough, and there are times they are not able to go out so they order DoorDash."
And in her own message on the fundraiser, Anabelle - who has set the target donation figure to $100,000 (£74,033) - pleaded with people to give what they can to help Kerry "quit at least one" of his two jobs.
She wrote: "As you can see, Kerry really is a hard-working guy who is working two jobs, trying to make ends meet, and is still raising older children.
"We spoke for a while and there is so much more to his story but he is private and just wanted this put out in the world. He is funny and sweet and thinks he used to take one of his kids to a babysitter at the house I live in - small world.
"Let's help this man quit at least one of his jobs!"
Commenters on the GoFundMe page have also reached out to share their good wishes, with many saying they hope Kerry can use the money to enjoy his retirement.
One person said: "He deserves to enjoy the remaining years of his life with loved ones, not working. God Bless."
While another added: "The elderly have earned the right to not have to work to support themselves, to not have to worry about money but to enjoy life."
And a third wrote: "I respect those who go above and beyond what's expected of them. Hard work like this should not go unrecognised. This is who our youth should look up to."
If you would like to donate to Kerry Judd's retirement fundraiser, you can do so via GoFundMe.
