I agree 😢 but our government doesn’t care….. they give billions to Ukraine 🇺🇦 and other countries yet our veterans are homeless and poor 😢 truly heartbreaking 💔
And this is america? The richest country in the world? 😂😂😂 Instead of DESTROYING THE WORLD! and policing the world. America should take care of people like this man.
I agree completely that he shouldn't have to work to eat, as he put it at the beginning of the video.. But I have to say that all the people I know in their 80's and 90's are people that get up and get out and do something productive. I think he gets around pretty good, considering his age.
@@cathyrainey6176 Well, i'm 62 retired not working, when they see your age on the application, they tell that they find someone else qualified than you for the job, age discrimination, i only get $1060 here in MA, lucky me i have a subsidized apartment, and i can play around this amount, every weds of the month,but this 90 yrs old vet don't suppose to do this, vets does not qualify for a pension from the defense department???
@@EvralTatum-Mcfield-ov2miHe’s not a military retiree so no, he does not receive a pension from the DoD. However, he can receive funding from the VA (which is not part of the DoD). Many veterans do not understand the VA so they choose not to deal with the headache. Under President Trump, the VA changed and employees were held accountable for their employment at VA. Consequently, many veterans started receiving the benefits that they have earned.
I have a question at ypur age what were you doing when things were cheaper? Did you adjust your budget?. You know we can live to spend. We have to adjust. Not be shopping everyday. I'm just wondering because people your age had opportunities. Well they good thing you're still working. I know a lady your age who refused to adjust. She always had to have a new car and a dog she couldn't afford it anymore because she refused to give up the dog and refused to keep working. She's now in a homeless sh😢with her dog. Smh.
As a veteran myself, I am left in tears to see my fellow brother living in such destitute. NO American at age 90 should need to work in order to eat. This is beyond sad.
And this is america? The richest country in the world? 😂😂😂😂😂 Instead of DESTROYING THE WORLD! and policing the world. America should take care of people like this man.
And remember this !! Why is the grocery store making a 90 year old push carts in the sun when they can easily give him an easier inside job. It was probably a Kroger store because they can care less about their employees.
This is a sweet story but I will never understand why our government doesn't take better care of our veterans in need. My dad served in Vietnam so I grew up in a military life...thanks to everyone who helped this man and Karen who took the time to be kind!!
I totally agree! It is ok to have a bunch of children and using the government money, but what about the people that serve and fight for us? I have no tides to the military, but I have a great friend and got learned more about the issue.
We elderly and disabled are trapped in perpetual poverty by soc sec and HUD. We get a cost of living increase and HUD takes 75% of it by raising our rents. This is criminal
Yes they do. I have 3 friends in their late 70s and 80s. They barely get by. The huge boost during Covid to help with costs. They senior apartments raised there rent so high the 8% actually landed some of them went into the negative. One was down $2 less.
@karenmariecraig5619 just wait for trump and Maga to gut social security and Medicare in order to give tax cuts to billionaires. He also will instate a trump sales tax costing each family about 3 thou a year.
90 years old veteran still working 😢, just to survive and eat … unreal … thank god ❤ for this women helping this man🙏🏻 and noticing him & not ignoring what she saw & doing something about it, ❤
Did the catholic church look after Dillon no so why is he silly enough to donate part of his money to the church we have a saying look after number one, working at 90 years old to survive is a disgrace,
This gets me mad that elderly have to continue working to survive. All taxpayer money is given to illegals and young lazy a#$%&es who refuse to work because they get more $ being lazy than working. Just horrible, sooo happy this man was helped.❤❤❤
Why? This gentleman has to bear some of the burden of responsibility for his situation as well? However, unlike our current generations, this gentleman has taken on that responsibility and continues to work. Do not blame society for your situation, you need to blame yourself as well. However, Mr Dillon appears to have accepted his situation and was maneuvering his life with honor and hard work. Respect!
Salute to you fellow Veteran, you are blessed with such a strong will to survive despite of your age, you work for a living, God Bless you more abundantly🙏💪🫡
Shame on WinnDixie for having this man push carts, which is usually done by very young men, rather than keeping him inside away from the heat at a less physically demanding job like bagging groceries or customer service!
Oklahoma here!! I’m balling my eyes out!! The whole story!! This man reminds me of my little 91 year old dad!! There is not another man in the world that I admire more!! This world needs more men like this!! And to the young lady that helped him.. God bless you precious girl!! The world needs more of both of you!!
Oh my god, I’m in tears……what a wonderful woman and Dillon I LOVE YOU…. God keep you safe and Karen thank you and all the people who donated…., there IS GOOD in the world after all 😊❤
Made me cry so much…. My biggest SALUTE TO DYLAN AND THIS BEAUTIFUL LADY…. WE NEED MORE PEOPLE LIKE HER…. GOD BLESS YOU SIR AND YOU MY SWEET BEAUTIFUL LADY…
Wow! A very special person that helped this American veteran, you are special. Thank you Karen Swensen. Dillion, you deserve this, and wish you well for the next 30+ years.
Aww such a beautiful and heart warming story. Thank you to those with a beautiful and gracious heart. May God blessed you all for the kindness amen. 🙏🏻
No 90 year old veteran should have to work anymore. Thank you for that woman.❤

Vote Trump or we will all be pushing

I'm the same. 68 and still working because $1000 social security doesn't go far.

You mean shame on our government aka politicians
Exactly!!
Which politicians exactly?
Yes this why we have the d*mn government. Stop sending our money overseas and help people here at home!
Sad we send billions to Ukraine and others and don’t take care of our own patriots OR the hurricane victims.
This is happening all over our country. People need to see how badly our elderly struggle just to stay alive 😢
trump 2024
Republicans don't care that's why they're cutting social security as soon as Trump gets back in the White House
As a veteran myself, I am left in tears to see my fellow brother living in such destitute. NO American at age 90 should need to work in order to eat. This is beyond sad.
Thank You For Your Service ❤
Our scumbags government is useless greed and power that what they care about
And illegals getting everything for free .
❤❤❤ Thank you! Love and Blessings!
Thank you.
Shameful a vet has to work like that after fighting for his country. Its so nice to see there are good people around.
He's earned the right to not have to work. This is sad. I'm glad someone helped him out. That woman is an angel.
Not according to republicans. They want everyone to work until they die!
This brought me to tears. Servicemen deserve better. Shame on this country!!
I 😢 too when I watch this video. Good. Bless her and him too
This woman is the definition of "Class".
and kindness
America needs more people like these. Only way to turn the country around and make it Great again 🎉
Ew. Did you have to say that?
@@tf4606 Isn't it true that Rage is the norm in America now instead of Kindness?
@@tf4606what’s wrong with having an amazing beautiful America? Get over yourself!
God knows Trump is not going to make this country great he's going to destroy it
I live in this area and Karen is well known and very kind. And sheriff Lopinto is outstanding. Thank you so much for this.
This retired anchor is actually more beautiful today than in her Katrina era. She glows
Karen runs an amazing happy ending business? 🎉
Karen is an angel. Her kindness and compassion shine from within,and I'm grateful knowing beautiful people such as she walk among us💖💝
Veterans deserve everything. Thank you for giving this brave man hope. ❤

The Government is giving the money to illegals instead of our military Vets
Trump will change things for the better with Social security, Medicare, Medicaid, taxes, COUNT ON IT! 🇺🇲‼️
Because our government don't give a f about veterans or seniors or the disabled
I totally agree! It is ok to have a bunch of children and using the government money, but what about the people that serve and fight for us? I have no tides to the military, but I have a great friend and got learned more about the issue.
Because they give it to the illegals
Karen Swensen is a beautiful angel on this earth. ❤
she is A GOOD KAREN. god bless them both.
Most Karens are good.
@@capercat9785 I agree, so maybe now idiots can stop abusing this lovely name.
SHE’S AN AWESOME LADY ❤️
Thank you for your service Dillon, we love you and appreciate you. You deserve that money and more !!!! 🙏🇺🇸♥️👏✊👍
Thank you to Karen, who got the ball rolling, and to everyone who contributed 🙏
Wish someone had done this 10years ago, but at least he can relax now
What is wrong with our world working at age 90. Thank you Karen. 😊
I shed a tear 😢 for him. I'm a veteran 21 yreas service. God bless you, everyone who has helped. Thank you for helping a veteran 😢

Just wait, if trump wins these programs will be gutted. See project 2025 for details of the plan. Think before you vote.

This makes me so sad 😢
Vote against Democrats
Thanks be to God for the generosity of those who helped Dillon finally be able to retire.
You are a beautiful person outside and inside!
Thank you America and Karen for helping this 90 year old veteran retire!😊❤
Thank you, God! Thank you for sending this beautiful woman to help this wonderful man. God is truly Great. 🙏 🙏 🫂 🕊️ 😊

Put the blame where it belongs.- repugnant Republicans who loathe giving anyone a financial helping hand except the rich and big corporations.

Yeshua bless Karen abundantly and this honorable senior Veteran, Amen ❤🙏🏻
Thank you for your service. Karen. You are everything Americans need to be and become. Thank you.

Shame on WinnDixie for having this man push carts, which is usually done by very young men, rather than keeping him inside away from the heat at a less physically demanding job like bagging groceries or customer service!
I have a feeling that this guy OFFERS to do heavier work just based on how he is‼️
Lord bless this man a vet and the young lady who helped him. ❤ also all who donated.😊
Well there's that issue, maybe that why win Dixie sold out to Aldi's?
Absolute SHAME on the grocery store ‼️ God bless this beautiful hearted woman and this beautiful human being (Dillon) 🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️
You know why cashiers don't sit? They don't let cashiers sit because customers don't like how it looks
Our backs KILLS us, but it LOOKS better to you.
