Barbara, 72, is a Dominos delivery driver in Moncks Corner, SC. Earlier this month, she fell on the front porch of a family's home.
"Our Dominos delivery driver fell on our front porch today and my heart just hurts for her. She's clearly having a hard time. She was so worried about our food but all we cared about was that she was okay," Lacey Keighron said.

Keighron posted the doorbell camera footage to TikTok and created an online fundraiser to help bless Barbara with some extra cash.
"We would like to bless her by bringing by a 'tip' to help her with anything she may need. She is an older woman who fell and only cared about the food she dropped. Let's show her some kindness and take off some of this burden that our economy is causing the older generations especially!" Keighron wrote on GoFundMe.
She shared the fundraiser on social media and it took off, raising over $263,000 for the delivery driver as of Friday morning.
In a TikTok update, Keighron said Barbara put in her two-week notice and is "officially retiring." Her last day was Feb. 16.
Domino's said in a statement that Barbara was a "favorite of our customers".
"We are all very thrilled that these caring customers were able to help her transform her life so meaningfully. We are very happy for her," the pizza chain said.
Keighron said Barbara plans to take a cruise and travel to Europe during her retirement.
