82-year-old Navy veteran Butch Marion expresses his gratitude after receiving over $108,000 in donations which allowed him to retire from Walmart on "America Reports."
The fundraiser was spearheaded by bug extermination business owner Rory McCarty, a Walmart customer who walked into the store and filmed Marion ringing up items in the checkout line and posted the video on TikTok. McCarty explained how his faith in Jesus Christ prompted him to give back. After seeing a video about Elizabeth Rizzo, who raised over $133,000 for an elderly woman, he wanted to do the same.
"As a business owner, it's hard for me to find good help," McCarty reflected on Marion’s work ethic, "I'm expanding and so when I went into Walmart, I seen this man leaning over and working and I was just blown away... The Lord, just prompted me to get my video out and I did and I started videotaping him."
