Social Media & Positivity

At age 88, Ed Bambas was working full-time at a grocery store in Michigan, USA. He had retired from the General Motors car company long ago, but after the company went bankrupt he lost his pension.

When his wife became sick, medical expenses ate into their retirement fund - and when she passed away, Ed decided to go back to work.

A social media personality named itssozer heard about his story, found his store, and shared his story on his social media with a GoFundMe campaign. Shockingly, in only 36 hours, tens of thousands of kind strangers had donated over $1,000,000, with the total reaching $1.7 million... and Ed finally retired.
