The Goodness of America
A Tip to Remember
An Arizona couple’s dream wedding became a reality through the kindness of strangers, sparked by a heartfelt note from a food delivery driver, Fox 10 Phoenix reported.
It all started when Erica Hernandez ordered food from her local Chipotle in June and received a note from her delivery driver, Paul Slobodzian, kindly asking her to consider leaving a tip. The note read, “Thank you for your order. I am driving on the side to give my fiancée the wedding she deserves,” and included information for Slobodzian’s Venmo account. Touched by the message, Hernandez decided to share it on social media. “I just felt really inspired to post it and see if my friends or followers would be willing to donate,” she explained.
Slobodzian and his fiancée, Aly Perkins, had been working extra hours delivering food to save for their wedding. Paul didn’t anticipate the response his note would elicit. “I never set out to leave those notes with the intention of somebody making a video about it or even trying to broadcast it to anybody besides the person I was delivering to,” he mentioned.
