captured the moment he told Carter that a bunch of people he had never met quickly came together to raise thousands of dollars just for him. "I just lost it. I thought he was kidding, I just couldn't believe it. That just doesn't happen," Carter told CNN. "I didn't know how to feel. This is the kind of the thing I do. I love giving and donating and helping people, but I never expected someone to do it for me." Before Whittaker boarded his plane, he told his followers they could continue to tip Carter on Venmo and CashApp. "By the time I landed in Nashville, it was $20,000. And by the time I interviewed him for my podcast that night, it was $44,000. And as of this conversation, it's at $61,000," Whittaker said on Friday evening.
