Toronto Man Starts A GoFundMe For A Woman Who Has Worked At KFC For Almost 50 Years

A 70-year-old woman name Emilia has been working at the same KFC in Toronto for 46 YEARS!

So 39 yr old Jason Schweitzer, who’s been going there since he was 5,  decided to raise money for her online. He says he used to go to the east-end Toronto restaurant every Sunday with his family.

Emilia, originally from Portugal, started working at KFC in 1975, Jason said inspired him to have a hard work ethic and commitment to making people happy.

So last week, Jason decided to take his fond memories and admiration for Emilia and turn them into a GoFundMe campaign. With an original goal of $2,000, Jason had hoped the money would help Emilia pay her bills.

Last I checked, it was up over $22,000!

Emilia , who has no mobile phone or computer told Jason that she plans to use the money for her health, transportation and overall well-being.
