An 82-year-old Walmart worker, who had just $50 in her bank account and moves around with a cane, was gifted more than $130,000 from kind-hearted strangers.

Carman Kelly, 82, of Arizona, has worked at the Apache Junction Walmart for a little over two years to help fund her hefty medical bills.

'Well, I was in the emergency room a few times and I ran out of money,' she told News 12, laughing. 'My life has been up and down, up and down. They say these are the golden years, but what's golden about them?'

'My Walmart money, it helped me pay for food and gas and other things,' she told Good Morning America (GMA).

Liz started a GoFundMe for Carman, setting the goal at $10,000 - the total amount of her medical bills - which they originally thought would never be met. But much to Carman and Liz's surprise, the fundraiser has raised more than $133,000 in two weeks.

When she started the fundraiser for Carman, she had no idea the older woman had only $50 in her bank account, which she said would 'last her until next week.'

Now, the $133,000 will go into a trust, according to Liz, to make sure the money goes directly to Carman. The 82-year-old and her family are also working with a financial advisor to help deal with the large sum of money.
