A former bus driver, who in her senior years works as a bus monitor, sat patiently through ten minutes of relentless and brutal bullying by middle school kids on her route.
Now the video has gone viral and an online social media community has rallied together to support her and raise the money to send her on a vacation.
As is normal for the Reddit website, users were inspired to donate and within 24 hours the total surpassed $160,000, and soared higher every minute, as more people watched the video and sympathized with the blue-collar senior. Max Sidorov created the fundraising page and has provided all the contact details and updates that ensured the effort was not a scam. By the next day, the mainstream media was publicizing the story and the donations hit a whopping $600K.
The video of Karen Huff Klein, who works in the school district in Greece, N.Y. where the bullying students are “facing strong disciplinary actions”, reached the Reddit community yesterday, where there arose this post from a user named, razorsheldon:
When PBS discovered video mash-up artist John D. Boswell on YouTube, they immediately hoped to collaborate. It turns out that Boswell is a huge Mister Rogers Neighborhood fan, and was thrilled to get the opportunity to pay tribute to the Public Television hero.
