Donations poured in from around the world, including a $500 contribution from Chipotle headquarters.
Slobodzian met his fiancée Aly Perkins when they were college students in 2017, and when they got engaged last year, the couple knew they wanted to have a big celebration.
“At the beginning of last year we decided we wanted a wedding and a really special night to celebrate that kind of love we have for each other,” she said.
‘We realized how much it was going to cost to have the night we really wanted.
“I’m not the only one who drives Uber Eats, Aly drives as much as I do, and we’ve been doing it together for the last 15 months, going up to seven days a week sometimes, trying to earn enough to live on.” This in.’
Slobodzian and Perkins were college students in 2017 and both decided to drive for Uber Eats so they could afford the wedding of their dreams.
Thanks to Hernández’s viral post, the couple will now be able to afford the wedding of their dreams and take time off to give birth.
‘She is my rock, I love her with all my heart. “She completes me and I’m so grateful to have her in my life,” Slobozian said.
‘For me, home is wherever Aly is and I can’t wait for a night to celebrate the love we have.’
The couple gave Hernandez $1,000 as a token of their gratitude and invited her to the wedding, which she happily accepted.
