USPS driver tears up after person she helped out gives her big surprise

A USPS delivery driver was left in tears after she was generously gifted $400 for giving her last $5 to a complete stranger for the bus.

Jewellery designer and activist Isaiah Garza regularly uses his social media platform to give back and document his random acts of kindness.

And his latest show of appreciation for an LA postal worker’s kindness has left many of his 7.5 million TikTok followers overcome with emotion.

In the video, uploaded on Sunday (14 August), Garza is seen approaching a postal worker named Debbie as she unloads parcels from her truck for delivery and pretending he needs a dollar to get a bus home.

“I'm trying to get extra change to get home on the bus,” he begins. “I wanted to see if you possibly had an extra dollar or two.”

Without hesitation, she responds: “You can take my last $5. Here take it, you can have it” and is seen handing the note to Garza.

“Are you serious?” he says. “Can I ask you why you were willing to do that though?”

“Why?! I always help people,” Debbie adds.

It’s at this moment that Garza reveals his ploy and explains that he is giving $300 to the first person who gave him money for the bus.

Now back in her truck, the stunned USPS worker says: “You're kidding. Are you serious? Where's the camera?”

“I have some money for you. Dead serious. This is your money back,” he admits.

At a total loss for words, Debbie puts her head in her hands and starts to cry before telling Garza that she ‘believes in helping’.

“I'm going to start crying,” she shares. “All the homeless people around the corner they will tell you I'm always feeding them. I believe in helping”.

After talking to her, the TikToker had another surprise in store for and gave her an extra $100.

“Here's your $5 back but I have one more thing for you, can I grab it for you real quick? My car is right there, give me one second,” Garza said. “I've got you another $100”.

Bowled over by the gesture, all Debbie could say was, “Oh my God are you kidding me?”

After posting the video, which has been viewed more than 1.1 million times on TikTok, the generous social media star revealed that Debbie was in fact retiring.

“Guys she told me she's going to retire this month! She's such a beautiful soul,” he commented.

It comes as no surprise that Garza’s video was inundated with comments from users applauding his act of kindness and showing love for Debbie.

One penned: "Oh my heart!!! She is a blessing and so are you!!! I can't smile big enough! God Bless you!!!"

"Let’s change Debbie’s life, she’s so deserving,” another shared. “Love this lady!”

A fourth added: “Can we see Debbie again? Maybe surprise her at her retirement party?"
