Heart-wrenching moment veteran, 90, resorts to pawning jewelry to take care of his dementia-stricken wife - before stunning act of kindness changes his life…

 

A New Hampshire woman raised more than $200,000 for a 90-year-old veteran who was pawning jewelry in order to care for his dementia-stricken wife.

 

 

 

Jenelle Marie filmed disabled Air Force veteran, Donald, attempting to pawn jewelry off at US Gold and Pawn in Manchester to pay off the debt he’s accrued while trying to care for his sick wife, who was recently diagnosed with dementia.

 

 

 

Marie started a GoFundMe after learning Donald’s landlord had raised his rent and he was ‘falling behind terribly on all of his bills’ and he feared he’d lose his home.

‘He’s deathly afraid he’s going to be displaced and that they are going to make his wife go to a home,’ she wrote.

Earlier this week, she surprised him with an envelope with $1,300 in it that she had collected from the fundraiser before it went viral.

‘I could kiss you,’ Donald says as he opens the envelope in a video posted to TikTok. Tears spring to his eyes as he realizes what’s in the package and begins to count it. ‘Oh my goodness.’

When he’s told the amount, his face softens and he insists she ‘can’t do that.’

‘Listen, I can’t let you do this for me,’ he tells her, his voice thick with emotion. ‘I could never thank you.’

As Donald becomes at a loss for words, Marie tells him: ‘I know your struggling, I know you’re trying to take care of your wife. I appreciate your [military] service.’

With the generous offer – which Marie, her fiancé, and around 25 other people chipped in for – it left Donald with only $80 of debt left to pay and he was able to keep his jewelry.

‘You’re an angel in disguise, you really are,’ he tells Marie. ‘I don’t know what to say, I really don’t know what to say.’

He then tells Marie he told a man named Hector that the ‘lady at the store is a really wonderful, wonderful person.’

‘This is the best birthday present anyone has every had!’ he exclaims. Donald will turn 91 on August 25.

Patrick Mahomes is receiving a lot of backlash online over a picture that appeared to show him rocking a Nazi symbol.

 

On Sunday, the Kansas City Chiefs improved to 9-0 against their division rival Denver Broncos.

Along with their 9-0 start, the Chiefs have now won 15 straight games (including postseason) dating back to the 2023 season.

The Chiefs offense struggled in week 10, barely surviving to seal the win with a late blocked field goal.

However, a win is a win no matter how it happens.

After the game, one social media user decided to troll Patrick Mahomes by posting an old picture of him wearing a headband that appeared to have a swastika on it.

Elon Musk: “I’d Rather Break My Leg Than See Taylor Swift During An NFL Game

Elon Musk: “I’d Rather Break My Leg Than See Taylor Swift During An NFL Game

In a surprising revelation on X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter, Elon Musk commented on pop superstar Taylor Swift’s recent appearances at NFL games, stating, “I’d rather break my leg than see Taylor Swift during an NFL game.” The billionaire and tech tycoon’s comment quickly became one of the platform’s top trending topics, with fans and critics alike weighing in on the unexpected sentiment.

 

Since Elon Musk’s $44bn acquisition of X last year, the platform has undergone a series of notable changes, from overhauling the verification system to the reinstatement of former US President Donald Trump. Musk has not only gutted trust and safety teams but also installed a new CEO, former NBCUniversal executive Linda Yaccarino, making his influence felt in both operational and content aspects of the platform. With this fresh comment about Swift, Musk further establishes his fearless approach to sharing personal opinions on X, regardless of public perception.

Taylor Swift, meanwhile, has recently become a regular face at NFL games, particularly at Arrowhead Stadium, home of the Kansas City Chiefs. Her budding relationship with the Chiefs’ All-Pro tight end Travis Kelce has drawn considerable media attention. Swift’s appearances at these games, coupled with her high-profile relationship, have drawn an avalanche of media attention and a significant increase in game viewership. An average of nearly 27 million viewers tuned into the Chiefs-Jets game, hoping to catch a glimpse of the music icon.

Musk’s comment on Swift’s NFL appearances has predictably divided opinions on X. Supporters of the “Shake It Off” singer were quick to defend her, criticizing Musk for his seemingly unprovoked remark. Others opined that the tech mogul’s comment was perhaps in jest or simply reflective of his known penchant for sparking internet debates.

Regardless of Musk’s intentions, his statement has reignited discussions about celebrity involvement in sports and the cultural impact of such appearances. As the NFL capitalizes on Swift’s newfound passion for the game, Musk’s provocative comment ensures that the intersection of pop culture, sports, and technology remains as dynamic and unpredictable as ever.

In a world where every tweet can spark a global conversation, it remains to be seen if Swift will respond to Musk’s remark or if the NFL will weigh in on the matter. What is certain, however, is that the lines between entertainment sectors continue to blur, and public figures like Musk and Swift are at the forefront of this evolving narrative
