She Also Collects Pop Tabs
It’s been almost two decades since Aletha Buck, 96 years old, began collecting pop tabs for the same beneficiary as Ruth’s. She does so in order to help the hospital pay its running costs for the people it cares for.
It was in 1995 when she set out on her path and hasn’t looked back since then. As she put it, “the young people around here do something to you.” So, how many cans does Aletha have in total?
10 Million Pop Tabs
Twenty years after she began collecting pop tabs, her collection has grown to an astonishing total of ten million pop tabs, which is a remarkable accomplishment.
She said she overheard people discussing how many people just needed a little help at the Ronald McDonald House, which she shared with the public in a statement. To put it another way, what was the secret to her being able to pull it off so well was discovered.
