DDG: Over $320K Raised For Vet Pawning Jewelry To Care For Wife W/ Dementia

The power of social media is coming to the rescue of a 90-year-old Air Force veteran in need. TikToker Jenelle Marie met the New Hampshire man, only identified as Donald, at a pawn shop when he was trying to unload some jewelry. As they talked, he revealed that he was trying to get cash to pay his back rent, which he had fallen behind on while caring for his wife with dementia, after the landlord raised it.

Donald told Marie that he was afraid they would be evicted, as she explains, “He’s deathly afraid he’s going to be displaced and that they’re going to make his wife go to a home.” Marie stepped in to help, first giving the vet $12-hundred, which he tried to refuse at first. Eventually, Donald accepted it, and he was able to keep the jewelry, too.

Marie then started a GoFundMe for the couple, which has raised more than $320-thousand, allowing Donald to pay the debt to the landlord.“You’re an angel in disguise, you really are,” he tells Marie. In addition to helping them with money, she’s also in the process of finding more stable housing for the couple.
