Did you catch this Mother’s Day story last week? Latina Edge is a single mom and traffic cop in Detroit. She was working last weekend when a TikToker walked up and gave her $500, along with tickets to a Tigers game.

He got her supervisor to give her the rest of the day off so she could go, and the video went viral. But it didn’t end there. A few days later, he showed up again to take her to another game for an even bigger surprise.

They brought her on the field . . . said he’d secretly started a GoFundMe . . . and told her people had donated $50,000.

(Here’s that video.)
