    When Frank Herbert ordered pizza from Pizza Huts, he was surprised that Judit, at such an old age, worked as a delivery driver. That's when the 89-year-old man first came into the sight of the Herbert family. Judit Newey started delivering pizza in Roy, Utah, to help pay the bills, as his social security benefits (社会保障金) weren't enough to live on. From the moment the Herberts heard him say, "Hello, are you looking for some pizza, " Judit found his way into their hearts!

    Ever since that day, whenever they place an order, they ask for Judit personally. It didn't take long for them to begin recording their sweet meetings and share them on TikTok, which is how thousands of other people fell in love with Judit. Still, his fans couldn't help but wonder why someone at his age was working so hard—question the Herbert family was asking themselves too. They spoke with Judit, and when they found out he works 30 hours a week to make ends meet, they decided to collect donations to make his life easier. They figured anything would help, but the total sum which is up to $12, 000 really surprised them!

    In September, the couple decided to switch things up by showing up at Judit's door with a couple of gifts. First, they surprised him with a cute cartoon shirt of himself holding a pizza box. Then they revealed the surprising act of generosity that brought him to tears! They explained that they had rallied their TikTok community to support him, and while he's not entirely sure what the platform is, he couldn't be more thankful. 

    "How do ever say thank you? I don't know what to say, "he told them. "I don't know what to say, except thank you. " The Herberts insisted they were just the messengers. It was his fans who made the wonderful gift possible. Plus, the way they see it, they're just repaying Judit for his kindness.
