Featured on S4 Ep151: Faith in Action: Navigating Life's Challenges 

Tamie Konzier

A Pittsburgh-area esthetician and TikToker, recently showed how one thoughtful act can create life-changing ripple effects. While dining at a local Eat’n Park with her young son, Leo, Tamie Konzier noticed their 81-year-old waitress, Betty, struggling to move around. Overhearing Betty share with another patron that her $910 monthly Social Security wasn’t enough to cover her bills, Konzier felt compelled to help.
Thinking quickly, she turned to TikTok to share Betty’s story, promising to donate any proceeds from her Creator Rewards earnings directly to Betty. At that moment, she also left a $40 tip from her own wallet, hoping to provide immediate support.
Konzier's video quickly went viral, sparking an outpouring of kindness from TikTok users worldwide. Flooded with messages and donations, she set up a GoFundMe to ensure transparency and proper handling of the money. Within days, donations skyrocketed to over $328,000, allowing Betty to finally secure her financial future.
Betty was stunned and deeply grateful when Konzier shared the incredible total. “You don’t know what this is going to help me with,” she said. Konzier responded tearfully, “I hope it helps with everything.”
Through her quick thinking and genuine compassion, Konzier not only provided Betty with a chance to enjoy her golden years but also reminded us all that small acts of kindness, amplified by community support, have the power to profoundly change lives.
