#VIDEO: Grandpa gets his bonus stolen and a young man collects money to help

Grandpa gets swindled, all his money is stolen, and the young man helps him to make a collection There are older adults who, for one reason or another, live with scarce resources and are looking for support to survive on a daily basis. In Peru, the government gave economic support to the older adults who were most in need due to the Covid-19 emergency, so that they would not go out on the streets to work. However, Zacarias, a 78 year old man, was vilely deceived by a man who convinced him to lend him his money, assuring him that his son owed him money and that he would soon pay him back; in this way the grandfather gave him the money he had, but later he knew that it was a scam. Fortunately, a young man noticed this and recorded Zachary's situation, to ask the users for a collection to cover the theft that grandfather suffered. The video quickly went viral and hundreds of people began to support it, raising even more money than it had received from the government. Steven Medina, who is the young man in charge of making Zacarias' story go viral, personally went with him to deliver the money collected, and he explained that he would take it to the bank to keep his money there; this way, he could also receive the support of people who do not live in Arequipa but want to support him.
