Derlin Newey, at 89, had no idea that his Papa John's pizza delivery job would deliver him $12,000--and a customized T-shirt. Derlin’s unfailing kindness and upbeat manner so impressed the Valdez family (regular customers), that they recorded his deliveries and shared them on TikTok. Soon, the videos attracted an impressive following.

People began asking why Derlin, an obvious senior, was delivering pizzas at his age. Apparently, Derlin worked an average of 30 hours a week at Papa John’s to supplement his Social Security income. The Valdez family figured that Derlin could probably use some financial help, and so asked for donations from its “TikTok family."

In short order, the Valdez family was able to present Derlin with a $12,000 check, to his complete astonishment. Along with Derlin's amazing spirit, the Valdez family certainly qualify as “Amazings-in-the-making."
