A GoFundMe account set up to help an elderly woman waiting tables at Eat'n Park has exceeded by far its goal.

Tamie Konzier was at Pittsburgh-area Eat’n Park location when she noticed waitress, 81-year-old Betty.

Konzier says Betty was having a hard time walking and overheard a short time later that she only makes a little over $900 a month with Social Security.

A video on TikTok went viral and the GoFundMe has been a big success with over $246,000 raised out of a $25,000 goal.

Eat'n Park tells KDKA Radio they love to see the community coming together for Betty:

We're thrilled to see the outpouring of support for Betty. She creates so many smiles for our guests and team members every day, and we're grateful for all that she brings to our team. We love our team members, and we love that our guests and community members love them, too!
