The past Christmas holidays left us with several stories of people who were friendly and supportive not only with family and friends, but also with the people around them, like this man who gave gifts to his local garbage collectors and now they surprise him with this detail.
Don David is an older adult from Poza Rica de Hidalgo, Veracruz, in Mexico, who a few months ago went viral through a video posted on TikTok by his granddaughter Naylín del Villar, where he can be seen at the door of his house waiting for garbage collectors to deliver a Christmas present.

To date, the popular video has 17,700,000 views, 2,700,000 “likes” and more than 17,000 comments from users who are moved by such a noble gesture.
But this story was not just that, because the company that offers the garbage collection service contacted the man’s family and planned to give him an incredible surprise.
Thank you very much for the detail… we want to send a detail to your grandmother on behalf of the company.
Through TikTok, David’s granddaughter recorded the moment when the garbage collectors surprised the grandfather on his birthday as a reward for the gift he had with them at Christmas.
On board his truck, the same workers to whom he gave gifts went to Don David’s home to deliver a birthday cake, a coffee pot and other gifts.
