A Tennessee musician says he will be able to cover his mother’s rent for over a month thanks to a generous donation from TikToker Lexy Kadey and her followers.The young man, named Kevin, was standing outside a Nashville Target store playing violin with a sign reading “Need to help my mom with rent, God bless,” when he was approached by Kadey.“Hey, how close do you think you are to your mom’s rent?” Kadey, who has amassed over 657K followers on TikTok through her Venmo challenge, asks Kevin in the now-viral clip.“My mom’s rent is like $600, and I have like $175,” he replies.“So if I gave you $1,000, that would cover it?” Kadey says, to which the stunned musician abruptly turns his head and asks, "excuse me?".After explaining the premise of the Venmo Challenge — in which Kadey asks her followers to Venmo her small sums of change so that she can leave massive tips for servers and others in need —.Kadey hands the musician $1,000 in cash, which leaves him at a loss for words.“Can I please give you a hug?” he finally musters, as the two embrace.
“This is not real.
Thank you”.So far, Kadey has filmed over 32 videos of herself changing people’s lives through the generosity of the TikTok community
