Brother Leaves Instructions to Give $500 Tip in his Will

WillsSeth Collins brother Aaron left instructions in his will that Seth was to “leave a $500 tip for a server.” To fulfill his brother’s wishes, the Kentucky resident went to a local restaurant and gave his waitress, Chelsea Powell, a $500 tip. The best part of this story is that many have been inspired by Aaron Collins’ kindness and generosity and have donated more than $47,000 to help keep the random acts of kindness going. The donations started coming in after Seth created a website to receive funds needed to continue giving the tips. The very first tips were the products of donations from his friends and family. After he posted a video of one of these donations on YouTube, the video went viral and many have flocked to the website to support his brother’s wish. The will in question was found on Aaron’s computer, which left his family surprised by the fact that he had even written a will. Here is one of the videos that Seth placed on YouTube. The video below is about the particular incident in the article.
