AMC theater worker, 85, receives $146K from strangers for retirement after viral video
A Tennessee woman working for AMC movie theaters was gifted $146k by customers for her retirement in a new wholesome video.
In a video that has since gone viral, Mary Ellen Eron, 85, was working her shift at the Maryville, Tenn., AMC, pushing a cleaning cart and taking out the trash when the sweet moment occurred. As of Friday, the video has been viewed by 13 million users on social media.
It was during this routine that the good Samaritans decided to surprise her by fundraising for her retirement. “Let’s secretly help retire this beautiful woman. No one deserves to work at this age,” Brooklyn Green, a movie-goer, posted on social media. #inspiration
