While many side hustles might buy a new pair of jeans, 16-year-old Chauncy Black’s part-time gig has brought in enough money for his family to get a whole new house. The Memphis teenager started with a sweet tooth, offering to help carry groceries outside a Kroger’s supermarket in exchange for a dozen doughnuts. That's when good Samaritan Matt White showed up. “He had me at donuts. lol,” White wrote on the Go-Fund-Me page, “Chauncy’s Chance.” But instead of just the pastries, White took Black on a shopping spree to buy groceries for his entire family. After driving Black home and witnessing the teen’s impoverished living conditions, the 30-year-old singer-songwriter set up a fundraising campaign for Black’s family. More than 13,000 people have donated to the account created on June 13, showing generosity and a mutual love for doughnuts can pay off. |
