In another video, Devan managed to talk with Nola and she said that she needs $170.000 to pay her mortgage and retire eventually.

Almost 13.000 donors helped to collect $170.000 using the GoFundMe page and it took them only a couple of days.
Nola’s granddaughter thanked Bonaguara for his incredible act of kindness.
She said in a video: “I just want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart, for what you did for me and also my family. It means a lot to all of us that you did this for her and it was a very kind thing for you to do, Thank you very, very much from all of us.”
Based on Devan’s story, he was fired from his job at a third-party company inside Walmart due to the threats Walmart was receiving because of his TikTok post.
On the 4th of November he said in a video: “They’re getting a lot of backlashes, so they told me I need to delete the video and delete the GoFundMe and return all the money to the people that donated it or they’re going to get the cops involved, So, I told them to do what you have to do because I’m getting this money to this woman one way or another.”
