Story highlights A customer set up a GoFundMe page for Fidencio Sanchez, 89, who pushes a popsicle cartDespite his advanced age Sanchez isn't sure he's ready to quit workingChicago (CNN) Fidencio Sanchez, 89, has been selling paletas, or popsicles, in Chicago's Little Village neighborhood for as long as almost anyone can remember. He shuffles up and down the streets, pushing a freezer cart stocked with icy treats and ringing a bell to attract customers. "I feel my body is starting to give up on me," he told CNN. A customer was so moved by the hard-working Sanchez that he bought 20 paletas for $50 and then created a GoFundMe page for him, seeking $3,000. On the page is a photo of the stooped Sanchez in a yellow Poncho Paletas cap, struggling to push his cart.
