One TikTok star is paying it forward to her Uber driver, who helped her after an unfortunate experience at Coachella.
After being robbed at the music festival last month, influencer Becca Moore decided to give back to the man who stuck by her side during the difficult time. How so? Well, she encouraged her more than 878,800 followers on the social media platform to help raise hundreds of thousands of dollars to help his two family members who have cancer. Amazing!
It all started when the social media star was attending a private party at Coachella with other influencers, and someone went through her bag and stole her phone and credit cards. When she was about to leave the bash, she realized all of her things were missing. She told ABC7:
Oh no! Eventually, she made it back to her hotel, where they called an Uber for her the next morning. And that’s when she ended up meeting an unexpected hero: her Uber driver Raul Torres. As she said in her now-viral TikTok about the situation:
While Becca explained in the video that all she wanted was to get a new phone and be done with the whole thing, Raul apparently was not letting this matter go. Nope! Instead, he helped her file a police report, grab some Starbucks to keep her calm, went with her to grab a new rental car, AND even managed to find her phone when the police would not help out

Following their adventures, the two then decided to head to a Mexican restaurant for some food and margaritas.
