Becca Moore is a bonafide internet celebrity. Boasting nearly 1 million followers and over 33 million likes on TikTok, she\u2019s made quite a name for herself on the viral video platform. Moore is best known for her storytime videos, where she lets her 820k viewers in on the more exciting and wild parts of her life \u2014 but her most recent tale isn\u2019t just about her. On April 30, Moore uploaded a video announcing that she had been robbed while attending Coachella a week prior. Moore claimed that a man who\u2019d been \u201chitting on\u201d her at the music festival ended up pilfering her phone, credit card, and car keys from her purse. She said that a friend standing nearby had heard the man say he would \u201cmake this girl talk to me tomorrow\u201d by stealing her things. Stranded in a strange city with no phone, money, or transportation, Moore was forced to watch as her rental car was towed and had no way of communicating her situation to her friends and family. Luckily, staff at the hotel where Moore was staying were kind enough to pay for an Uber trip to a nearby Sprint store, where she could pick up a phone to tide her over. Little did they all know that this event would spark a fast friendship. Click here if TikTok fails to load. Moore\u2019s Uber driver was soon made aware of her situation. Instead of just dropping her off at her destination and wishing her luck, the driver \u2014 Raul Torres \u2014 took Moore to a local police station, where she filed a report regarding the theft. Unfortunately, law enforcement couldn\u2019t do much about the situation. After searching the man\u2019s AirBnB, nothing came of the ordeal, leaving Moore on her own once again. But Raul wasn\u2019t about to let his client down. Instead, the two searched the AirBnB on their own, finally finding Moore\u2019s phone and credit card near a gate to the grounds.

She wanted to pay Raul back. During their time together, Torres revealed that his father was suffering from terminal cancer, without much time left to live. His daughter, a senior in high school, is also undergoing chemotherapy. Moore knew what she had to do. She set up a GoFundMe to benefit Raul and his family, with an initial goal of $1,000. However, mere days later, the goal had been smashed at over $50,000, and now sits at a whopping $143,516 at the time of writing. \u201cThank God he treated me like a daughter that day, too,\u201d Moore said of her newfound bond with Torres and his family. \u201c\u2018You today, me tomorrow.’\u201d Moore\u2019s story has since been picked up by major news outlets as word gets round of the amazing way she was able to return a favor \u2013 and how she struck up a lifetime friendship, in the process.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
