NEW: Internet users raise over $1.2M for an 88-year-old US Army veteran to help him retire after his pension was wiped out.
Ed Bambas lost his wife 7 years ago and is now working 40 hours a week to make ends meet.
Bambas retired from General Motors in 1999, expecting to have a stable pension.
When GM went bankrupt in 2009, Bambas and nearly 20,000 others at GM subsidiary Delphi Corporation lost their pensions and retirement benefits.
"The thing that hurt me the most was when my wife was really sick," Bambas said to influencer Sam Weidenhofer.
"And when they took the pension, they also took the healthcare coverage and all but $10,000 of my life insurance."
"So I sold my house, sold the property I had, and we made it through."
When his wife passed away in 2018, Bambas says he had to "re-establish" himself and decided to go back to work.
"I'm fortunate God gave me enough body to be strong enough to stand there for eight, eight-and-a-half hours a day," Bambas said to local news outlet WXYZ.
Weidenhofer says he heard about Bambas from a follower and set out to find him in Michigan.
After finding him and sharing his story on TikTok, online users helped raise over $1.2M for him.
God bless him and all those who donated.

The battle lines between capitalism and socialism were clearly drawn last night.
Texas is now the unrivaled HQ for capitalism in the US.
We lead the country in finance sector employment & new stock exchanges.
Capitalism always prevails.
Capitalism has lifted more people out of poverty than all of the social programs in the world.
We will secure capitalism for the future of our country and deny the expansion of socialism that is creeping across the US.
Hard to believe it's been 4 yrs ago already... Classic. JUCO dream team for sure!

College coaches aren't watching your kid's batting average they're watching THIS
They're watching how she moves.
How she loads, controls her body, and works through the ball.
Not just swinging moving well under pressure.
Recruiting isn't about stats at 12U. It's about movement.The best movers = less to fix in college.
The kid hitting .500 because she's bigger?
She won't last when velocity and game speed pick up.
Movement translates.
Results fade.
Parents stop worrying about other kids.
Stop chasing hits.
Stop obsessing over averages.
"Home Town Hero Parents" bragging about
11U stats?
It doesn't help your kid.
Focus on development.
Teach them to move well and handle failure.
Strike out? Celebrate the movement.
Error? Celebrate the rebound.
Drills matter. Purpose matters.
Ally's working on center mass drills to control the zone. Every rep has a movement purpose.
We don't copy social media. We train movement that translates. She's also learning to connect swing to throw, whipping the barrel into a top-hand release.
Follow the throw.
Whip the shit out of the barrel.
Movement first.
Mindset second.
Hits will come naturally. @PVSbaseball
