The world reacted when an Uber Eats driver sincerely requested a small act of kindness to enable his fianc\u00e9e to have the wedding of her dreams. <\/p>\n
For more than a year, TikToker Paul Slobodzian has been driving for Uber Eats as a side gig in order to save money for his wedding. <\/p>\n
Erica Hernandez placed a Chipotle supper order one evening, and Slobodzian picked it up and brought it over. <\/p>\n
Something handwritten was hidden in the bag. We are appreciative of your purchase! To give my fianc\u00e9e the wedding she deserves, I’m delivering for about three others on the side. The note said, “Any additional tip through the app or Venmo is greatly appreciated.”<\/p>\n
Hernandez posted it on her own TikTok account after being moved by his sincerity and commitment. <\/p>\n
It wasn’t much, but it was the least she could do, she reasoned. Erica stated in her TikTok video, which soon became popular on the app, “Hopefully this reaches the right people, but I don’t have a lot of followers.” <\/p>\n
His account received a deluge of kind donations after he included his Venmo ID on the note, including a $500 donation from Chipotle. <\/p>\n
In a video posted on his TikTok account, Paul stated, “My fianc\u00e9e and I have been overwhelmed in the best way <\/p>\n
possible trying to figure out how to respond to people and show how much this means to us.” The comments were pouring in, asking for updates. “I just wanted to say thank you so much, to start.”<\/p>\n
He describes how he and Aly, who was also driving for Uber Eats, were able to give up their side gig, <\/p>\n
concentrate on wedding preparation rather than wedding expenses, and\u2014above all\u2014spend more time together instead of working seven days a week. <\/p>\n
The pair, who had first connected on TikTok while they were sophomores in college, returned the favor by putting aside $1,000 for Erica, <\/p>\n
