田纳西州曼彻斯特市的一个Ring摄像头捕捉到了一次送货过程，这段视频在网上走红，促使数千名陌生人帮助改变了一名男子的生活。
视频显示，一名78岁的男子理查德（Richard）正缓缓爬上一户人家的台阶。
“他本该在家休息，每天锻炼几次来保持活动能力，而不是工作？我不明白。我们得帮帮他，”房主布里特妮·史密斯（Brittany Smith）在她发布到社交媒体的视频中谈到理查德时说道。
史密斯几乎从不查看门铃摄像头，但那天她的前夫——一名四肢瘫痪者——给他们的女儿送了一份星巴克点心。
看完送货视频后，史密斯和她的前夫都决定要找到理查德。
“我很生气。我想，我知道这个可怜的老人不是来给我能干的女儿送星巴克的，”史密斯说。
有人认出了理查德，并告诉史密斯他的姓氏。
史密斯开车四处寻找视频中的那辆车，最终找到了。理查德住在离这里五分钟车程的地方。她敲开他的门，递给他一张200美元的小费，以感谢他为自己送货。
理查德曾从事保险销售工作，13年前退休。但在妻子失业后，他重新开始工作，通过DoorDash送餐——有时一天工作12小时。
“我需要补贴家用，所以我开始通过DoorDash工作，这让我们能够支付账单，”他说。
起初，史密斯认为这笔小费已经足够，但网友们有了另一个想法。史密斯表示，她收到了“成千上万条信息”，要求她为理查德发起GoFundMe筹款页面。
第二天早上，她发起了筹款活动，名为“给理查德再休息的机会”。
五天内，陌生人就为理查德和他结婚近56年的妻子筹集了近100万美元。
“很难相信有这么多人如此慷慨，愿意帮助我们这些素不相识的人，”理查德的妻子布伦达（Brenda）说。
理查德对大家的支持表示感激。他说他想继续送餐，但不会像以前那么频繁——他表示工作让他感觉更好。
“尽你所能帮助他人是很重要的。如果你帮助别人并做正确的事，你就会成功，”他说。

78-year-old DoorDash driver gets massive tip from thousands of strangers after viral doorbell video
March 16, 2026 / 12:12 PM EDT / CBS News
A Ring camera in Manchester, Tennessee, captured a delivery that went viral and led to thousands of strangers helping change a man’s life.
The video shows a 78-year-old man named Richard slowly climbing the steps up to a home.
“He should be at home, just chilling, exercising a couple times a day to like … to keep his mobility, but working? No, like, I don’t know. We need to help him,” the homeowner, Brittany Smith, said about Richard in a video she posted to social media.
Smith almost never checks her doorbell camera, but that day her ex-husband, who is a quadriplegic, had sent their daughter a Starbucks treat.
After watching the delivery video, Smith and her ex-husband both decided they needed to track down Richard.
“I was furious. I was like, I know this poor old man is not bringing my very able daughter Starbucks,” Smith said.
Someone recognized Richard and was able to give Smith his last name.
Smith drove around looking for the car that was in the video and found it. Richard lives five minutes away. She knocked on his door and handed him a $200 tip for the delivery to her home.
Richard sold insurance and retired 13 years ago, but after his wife lost her job, he went back to work delivering food – sometimes for 12 hours a day.
“I needed to supplement our income so I started working through DoorDash and it allowed us to pay our bills,” he said.
At first, Smith thought the tip would be just enough, but people online had another idea. Smith said she received “hundreds and thousands of messages” asking her to start a GoFundMe page for him.
The next morning, she did and called it Give Richard a Chance to Rest Again.
In five days, strangers raised almost $1 million for Richard and his wife, who’ve been married for nearly 56 years.
“It’s just really difficult to believe that there’s that many people that are that generous to … try to help us and people that don’t even know us,” Richard’s wife, Brenda, said.
Richard is grateful for the support. He says he wants to continue delivering, but not as often – saying working makes him feel better.
“It’s important to do the best you can and help people. If you help people and do right, you’ll succeed,” he said.
