An ordinary trip to Walmart became a life-changing moment for Angellee Pilkerton. She is a kindergarten teacher in Las Vegas and a single mom raising three children all by herself.

One day, Angellee went shopping at Walmart. She had only a few dollars left when a man named Jimmy Darts came up to her. Jimmy is a TikTok creator famous for his “kindness tests”. He asked Angellee if she could give him a dollar. Without thinking twice, she gave him the little money she had.​

What Jimmy didn’t know at first was Angellee’s difficult situation. She is bravely fighting stage four cancer. Her cancer treatments cost $1,000 every week. Worse, her insurance (保险) stopped covering these costs. Jimmy was shocked by her kindness after learning her story.​

Inspired by her goodness, Jimmy started a money-raising activity to help Angellee and her family. The reply was amazing. In just 24 hours, people donated over $116,000. This money would help pay for her care and support her children.​

A small kind act can bring big changes to someone’s life.
