Woman delivers pizza to rusty trailer: Opens the door and makes a shocking discovery

Christmas is definitely one of the most cherished holidays for many Americans. It is a time of giving, as well as a time for well-deserved gratitude. But, not everyone has a family to enjoy this holiday with, which can be seriously tragic. A Dominos pizza delivery driver noticed an elderly man living in an old run-down camper, she knew she had to step in to help him. After hearing how he came to be alone, this heartwarming story is definitely worth reviving. It shows how much love some people have to give in a world that can be so cruel.

Pizza Delivery Driver with a Big Heart

Angela Nguyen has been a Dominos pizza delivery driver in Anoka County for many years now. During this time, one of her regular customers she delivered to was an elderly man named Lee Haase. At 76 years old, Lee would order pizza every Saturday. “He likes to order every Saturday,” said Angela. “About 10:15 you are going to get an order from Lee.”

In 2015, Angela’s daughter, Sarah Hughes, was driving around. She had also taken up a job with dominos as a pizza delivery driver. she had taken on the delivery for Lee that Saturday, and she saw his living conditions were not looking so great. She went to tell her mother that he was now living in a camper van made of metal. According to their report, his house had been damaged in a bad storm, making it uninhabitable. To make matters worse, his son had died in a tragic snowmobile accident. This meant he had no one to help him, and he had given up hope.

After speaking with her daughter, Angela learned that Lee’s campervan had no heating. In the winter months, this can be a harsh environment. Especially for an older man. So, upon one delivery, she not only brought him a pizza, but she came with a heater that she had bought for him. Bt, this wasn’t enough in her eyes. “I thought we got to do something. We got to do something. We can’t let a human being live like this,” said Angela.

They Set Up a GoFundMe

Angela the pizza delivery driver, along with the help of the local community, banded together to find a way they could help Lee. They set up a GoFundME page that ended up going viral. People empathized with Lee’s story and were even more touched by the efforts a pizza delivery driver was willing to go through to help a poverty-stricken man. “We got donations from as far as Australia,” said Angela.

In just two months, they managed to raise $32,000 for Lee. With this money, they bought him a brand-new container home. The furniture inside was all contributed by the community folk, and now Lee had a comfortable and safe place to live. One that included plumbing and electricity. His bedroom was just as big as the entire camper van he previously lived in. Above the bed were the messages, “Peace, hope, love, believe, and joy.”

In the video posted on YouTube by Human Kind, you can see Angela giving Lee a big hug. She asked him, “You remember when this started and I promised you we were going to help you?” To which Lee replied, “It’s wonderful. I’m so grateful for the people doing this.”

It’s thanks to stories like this that remind one of the ability human beings have to be kind and compassionate. If more people were able to step back and see how a small gesture can save someone’s entire world, it would be a different place to live in.
