Don Alfredo Noria's retirement

Donation protected

Hello people from all over the world and people from the south Los Angeles community, I am here today because I want to inform everbody that not everyone is fortunate enough to be able to retire at the age of 65, some people even at the age of 85 still have to work a 7am-7pm job on a daily basis to make ends meet. If you live in the South Los Angeles community I know for a fact that you have seen this elderly man walk around your neighborhood to sell you a pillow or fruit from a shopping cart. This man is appx 85 years old and still cannot retire due to the fact that he does not have the financial support to make ends meet, or to just simply be able to go home and have a warm meal at the end of his long day. I recently saw an elderly man in Chicago who sold ice cream at about the same age as this man from Los Angeles and I was truly inspired about how one person changed the Chicago man's life. I took the initiative to start a GoFundMe account for this elderly man so he too can retire soon and not have to work all his life. People who migrate from other countries to have a better life in the United States sometimes do not have the right tool or support in their lives to live it the way they always dreamed of. Los Angeles community and rest of the world, I come today to show everyone and ourselves that we too live a life based on humanity. 
Ok SoCal people and specifically South Los Angeles people let's show everyone that we have heart too, just like Chicago does. Lets make this happen.
Thank you so much for your donation. 



PS, when I explained to the elderly man what my intentions were and the reason for me taking his photo he said that what i was doing was a waste of my time. People please let's show this man otherwise, that the world is good and we show love for each other, just the way God created us.
