(Brighton, MI) – An 88-year-old grocery store employee in Michigan has received a check for nearly two-million dollars after his story went viral on social media. Ed Bambas of Brighton met social media influencer Sam Weidenhofer during his grocery store shift about two weeks ago, and told him how he couldn’t retire because his General Motors pension had been wiped out in 2012 following the company’s bankruptcy. Weidenhofer asked his millions of TikTok followers to help Bambas, and that video racked up over ten-million views.
On Friday, Weidenhofer presented Bambas with a check for one-point-seven-million dollars.
