Move out of the way world, an act of kindness just scooted in and changed a veteran’s life.
Veteran Tim Serres, from Hastings, Minnesota, suffers from breathing difficulties, which makes it hard for him to get around. Thanks to his good friend and fellow veteran Kenny Jarry and friend Amanda Kline, moving around just got a little easier when they surprised Tim with a life-changing scooter.
If Kenny seems familiar, there's a good reason. Not too long ago, Kenny's own scooter broke down. When his story was posted on Tiktok, strangers began contributing money for a new one. The inadvertent fundraiser sparked a new purpose for Kenny — not only was he able to get a new scooter for himself but he and Amanda took the leftover money and started getting scooters for other vets just like him who also needed better mobility access.
Tim was one of them. The second the scooter came into view, Tim was overwhelmed with gratitude. Kenny and Amanda also run a popular TikTok and Instagram page that shares uplifting content for veterans. A video of the emotional moment with Tim has gone viral, so they decided to use their platform to raise even more money for veterans in need of scooters.
To date, the pair has gifted more than 30 scooters to veterans.
Watch the emotional moment when this veteran gets new wheels...and a better quality of life.
