A TikTok influencer has said a very big thank you to her Uber driver.
Becca Moore was left in a sticky situation at Coachella after she says her phone, credit cards, and car keys were stolen.
She was so overwhelmed by the situation that the day after she broke down in tears and told her unsuspecting Uber driver, Raul Torres, the full story.
Little did she know that Torres would be more than just a sympathetic ear.
In an interview with USA Today, Moore explained how the driver helped her get back on her feet after her traumatic time at the California music festival.
"I was like, 'I got robbed last night,'" she told USA Today, adding: "I was kind of downplaying it, and he was like, 'No. This is actually bad. I'm not going to let you go into the Sprint store and leave you. I'll just wait and make sure you get a phone.'"
Not only did Torres help her get a new phone, but he also took the full day off work to give her a hand. After swinging by Starbucks with her, he took her to the police station to report the theft and helped track her missing phone to an Airbnb.
Torres, Moore, and the cops headed over to the Airbnb to search for the phone - but there was no sign of it. At this point, police started to give up on Moore. The festival-goer claims officers weren't taking her seriously and treated her like a "party girl".
The Uber driver on the other hand listened to her issues and helped her keep searching until they located her phone - still with her credit card in the case.
"It was so relieving because I knew I could leave now," she explained. "My credit card was in the [phone] case, so I could get a rental car to get to LA so I could get to an airport or something."
But before she headed home, Moore made one more stop with Torres when the two grabbed dinner together. It was only then that she learned his daughter was battling cancer.
"I was like 'Oh my God. This guy's daughter has cancer. I just wasted his entire day,'" she recalled thinking.
Eager to say thank you to her superhero driver, Moore set up a GoFundMe page to raise support for him and his family.
Thankfully, Moore is something of a TikTok celebrity, with over 887,000 followers on the platform. Once she shared the fundraiser with her followers, it wasn't long before it had raised well over the $1,000 goal.
"It hit $1,000 in one hour and then $100,000 in 24 hours. That was the most insane thing ever. I still can't believe it," she told USA Today.
So far, the fundraiser has raised over $248,000 for the Torres family. Looks like karma really does exist!
