Campaign raises $130K for hardworking 90-year-old vendor
Fidencio Sanchez, 90, usually makes $50-$60 a day in the city pushing a cart and selling paletas, a type of Mexican popsicle. A campaign on the crowd-funding site GoFundMe has raised more than $130,000 as of early Monday for Sanchez, who briefly retired but recently went back to work after the loss of his daughter. “He’s a really hardworking gentleman,” paleta-cart provider Gustavo Gutierrez told DNAinfo Chicago. “He’s always giving.” [DNAinfo Chicago]
