A kindhearted Californian has completely transformed the life of a 94-year-old wheelchair-bound man she found selling street food in a parking lot.

After learning of the man’s hand-to-mouth existence selling tamales to passersby, Kenia Barragan immediately went home and launched a crowdfunding campaign on GoFundMe that pulled in $84,000 in just a week. By the time her fundraiser closed, Kenia had received $85,535 in total.
