Lanita Edge, a traffic control officer from Detroit, recently experienced the overwhelming power of social media when a TikTok video featuring her went viral. The video was created by MDMotivator who interviewed her while on duty and used the opportunity to wish people a happy Mother’s Day. To Edge’s surprise, she was invited by Zackery, the TikToker, to a Tigers game for Mother’s Day. What was even more astonishing was that Zackery had secretly organized a crowdfunding campaign that raised $50,000 as a gift for Edge, simply for being herself.
Edge expressed her disbelief over the kindness shown by someone she didn’t know. She felt thankful and blessed to have been part of such an event and acknowledged God for using Zackery as an instrument of kindness in her life. Her story has since been shared numerous times online by those who watched the video and contributed to the fund, inspiring millions around the globe with its heartfelt message about giving back to those who need it most.
The entire experience left Edge feeling incredibly blessed and humbled – particularly in light of her recent loss of her husband. However, she also felt inspired by all those trying to make small differences every day. The attention has grown too; now many people stop along the crosswalk just to say hello or wish her well! It’s truly remarkable how far one act of kindness can reach, even if you don’t expect anything in return – Zackery’s thoughtfulness will likely stay with Lanita forever!
