A Memphis teen's offer to carry groceries to a man's car in exchange for some doughnuts has led to a wave of online donations for him and his disabled mother that have totaled $278,000 in 13 days.

Two weeks ago Matt White met Chauncy Black, a "straight-A student" who was just trying to get some food to eat in exchange for menial work.

Through videos shot by Matt, people learned Chauncy slept on the floor, had tattered clothes, and a courteous attitude and willingness to do anything to earn money.
