At 70, Rosario del Real was still selling Mexican paletas. After his neighbors bought his entire stock, they raised enough money for him to retire.
STEVE INSKEEP, HOST:
Good morning. I'm Steve Inskeep. Rosario Del Real is still working at age 70. The one-time carpenter pushes a yellow cart selling Mexican ice pops - or paletas. On Father's Day, a Chicago family wanted to give him a break. So they bought his entire stock. A video of his grateful reaction got so much attention that the family set up a GoFundMe account to help him retire. The Washington Post reports that people have now donated $62,000.
