A Domino’s Delivery driver can be seen taking a fall on a customer’s porch. A GoFundMe for the driver, Barabara Gillespie, has raised almost $120K after the video went viral.
An elderly Domino’s Delivery driver- Barbara Gillespie- went viral online after a porch video captured her falling while making a delivery. In the now-viral TikTok video (found here), Barbara is struggling to make it up the stairs and takes a tumble while carrying the food. Shortly after, a man inside the house rushes outside to help her up, repeatedly asking her if she’s okay. Gillespie responds by saying, “No I don’t think so” although she appears to be shaken up.
The caption of the TikTok video- posted by @momofthe5ks- reads: Our dominos delivery driver fell on our front porch today and my heart just hurts for her. She’s clearly having a hard time. She was so worried about our food but all we cared about was that she was okay. I’m so sad for her.

Bless Barabara GoFundMe by Lacey
After the video went viral, a GoFundMe for Barbara was started, as mentioned here. The article states that on February 3, Lacey Klein began a fundraiser for Barbara Gillespie called Bless Barbara!!! Gillespie fell and was injured while delivering food to their family’s home. As a result, the family started a GoFundMe for Gillespie which has now raised more than $120,000 since being launched. The goal is set at $200,000.
On the GoFundMe post, Klein wrote the following excerpt:
“Hi, my name is Lacey and my husband and I are trying to fundraise for our Dominos delivery driver Barbara. Today she took a rough fall on our front porch while delivering our food. We would like to bless her by bringing by a “tip” to help her with anything she may need. She is an older woman who fell and only cared about the food she dropped. Let’s show her some kindness and take off some of this burden that our economy is causing the older generations especially!! Thank you all”
