A doorbell video inspired thousands of strangers to help change man's life

A Ring camera in Tennessee captured an older man slowly climbing the steps of a home for a delivery. The homeowner, seeing the video, decided to post the video online to try and track the man down. She found him and gave him a $200 tip, but it didn't stop there. Thanks to the kindness of strangers, nearly $1 million was raised for the man in five days. David Begnaud reports.
