Aaron's Last Wish - A $500 Tip For Pizza

Our Indiegogo campaign to bring $500 tips to all 50 states: http://igg.me/at/aarons50states/x/853489

My brother passed away July 7, 2012. His final wish in his will, if he left enough money, was that we have pizza and give the waiter or waitress a $500 tip. Aaron never had much money , and he didn't have enough to make this happen, so I started a website and took donations. On July 10 we were able to make his wish come true for the first time.

We think he just wanted to provide a random act of kindness and generosity for someone he thought was under appreciated; the kind of thing that would make a lasting impact they would never forget. If you want to keep his legacy going, please feel free to donate. So far we have collected over $1000 so we will definitely be doing this again, for another random waiter or waitress, very soon! Each time we have $500 we will do it again, even if that means going out to eat multiple times a day.

I'm glad she got that tip, she's such a giving person her first thing that popped into her mind was to share her tip with her co-workers.

I saw your website today and made a small donation - And after reading these hateful comments - I intend to make another donation this time even bigger - Forget yourself for others and others will not forget you - I'm so sorry for the loss of your dear brother Seth - God Bless You and Yours .

If people want to give their server a tip, that's wonderful. I just read the other day that someone had given a server $500 and it wasn't a part of Aaron's Wish. Trust me, Keith, we didn't make up my son's death. Oh, how I wish it were so! My baby is gone. But he lived and he loved people, and we will honor him with these tips as long as we can--and hope to do good with them as he wanted.

Agreed.

That was the first and only comment I left on this video. It wasn't divisive or antagonizing in any way, at least not from my perspective. AllAccessPasses said youtube should get rid of the comment section because he/she doesn't like the comments being made. In return I said it would not be in youtube's best interests to suppress speech (get rid of comments) since it would be much less engaging. Rather than removing comments, how about not scrolling down to read them in the first place?

^ This guys one of the argument starters.

When did I say that you were a 13-year-old spoiled bitch? Based on your reaction, however, I have to say that I highly doubt that you do.

Suppression of speech isn't a very good business model...
