Gilnet works at Publix and has always provided a smile, a hug, and a high five for little Fiona since she was a baby.

She's come to know him as "High Five" and looks forward to seeing him every week.

On her birthday, he surprised Fiona with a bicycle.

So, the next time she went to the store she brought him a thank-you card.

Her parents filmed the wholesome interaction.

Due to many requests, Fiona's mom, Rachel, launched a GoFundMe page for Gilnet.

"I'd love to give something tangible back to him for the unquantifiable joy he's given my daughter her whole life," she said.

So far, more than 400 people have helped raise over $5,000 for Gilnet.
