Dan the delivery driver with the Diet Coke he bought himself – credit, Brian Wilson via GoFundMe
GNN recently reported on a crowdfunding campaign gone viral on behalf of an elderly DoorDash driver working far beyond his retirement to afford his wife’s expensive medication.
Now along a similar vein, an Idaho man was left “blown away” when he learned that a nearly 70-year-old Dominoes driver had gone to the grocery store to pick up his soda after the restaurant had run out.
Brian Wilson had ordered a Diet Coke to go with his family’s meal, but later got a voicemail saying the Dominos he ordered from had none left, and the delivery driver had already left.
A little while later, when the driver arrived Wilson’s door, he was surprised to see two liters of Diet Coke along with the pizza. In the viral video you can hear Dan the driver say he stopped at the store on his own to pick up the soda.
“We were honestly blown away. That level of care and kindness is rare these days,” Wilson wrote on GoFundMe.
“That’s when Dan shared something that made this moment even more meaningful: He’s been working at Domino’s as a second job for 14 years… and he’s retiring in just a few weeks.”

Wilson wanted to tip more at the time, but had no cash on him. So as GNN has so often seen, he started a GoFundMe, and the whole nation responded.

Wilson shared the Ring Camera video interaction on TikTok to see if anyone else would like to give Dan a tip, and just a few days later that GoFundMe has received more than 1,600 donations totaling over $23,000.
“Let’s show Dan that his kindness didn’t go unnoticed,” said Dan. “Let’s help him step into retirement feeling appreciated, supported, and celebrated.”
